How nice!
Thanks for the welcome from several people whose journals I have been lurking over for a while; all of us in the Sharmyweb. Not a bad place to be.
This is the funnest song! Fatboy Slim--Weapon of Choice. That doesn't sound like a fun song, does it? I have no idea what they are saying--I just like the beat. It's probably some horrible, misogynistic thing that would make me cringe if I knew what was being said--oh, well, tra la la. I like to dance in my seat--do you do that?
Not a lot of deep thought going on, can you tell? Wednesdays are my long day--long for a person who hasn't worked full-time in 6 months, that is. 2-9:45 p.m. Not that long, I guess. Anyway--a pretty good day, except I was spaced out in class. Yes, for those who don't know, I am a Mars Hillian. "Do you like it there?" "I love it, I hate it--I am trying to inhabit the shadow-zone that encompasses faith and ambivalence"--hee. That sounds so dumb written out, but it was part of what class tonight was about. We read The Hollow Men by TS Eliot to illustrate substance abuse--ya gotta love that.
I ate yummy Thai beef for lunch; I do love good food. Oh, those brownies from yesterday? They aren't gone yet--but I made a significant dent in them. Eating is such a reliable pleasure, you know? Unlike so much else in life. Okay, time for bed. Tomorrow I am going to enjoy a day out--not sure where, we'll see. On the way home tonight, I was thinking how I should take a road trip this summer. I am from Florida, and while I have lived out West before, there is a lot I have yet to see. So--where should I go? I've never been to Vegas--but I think Reno is close enough. I love San Francisco & Portland--where else is fun?

I think Vancouver, B.C. is a way cool city. And not too far away to be done easily in a couple of days (although more time is better, of course)--or a day even, if you're feeling crazy.
i know it's a very very very long way away, but maine is GORGEOUS. i went there by myself for a long weekend one summer, and it was incredible!!! i stayed at an old boarding house that was turned into a b&b called craignair inn. i highly recommend it for the introvert, writer, musician, naturalist, or thinker. (hopefully this picture will work on the first try...)
wow--that is be-yootiful. I have never been to Maine, although a friend from FL is from there & keeps inviting me. I will look into that--thanks!
Hi, K! Yeah, I have only been there once for a day, need to explore it further for sure. Where do you stay when you visit?
yeah, the greatest part at that particular place is that there's a 200-acre island that's attached by only a narrow drive, and it's all wooded and beautiful like a nature preserve. the water that you see in the picture is a little bayish area that stretches out to the ocean at the right. ...gosh that was a beautiful place...
Well, truth be told, I've done several day trips up there and not many overnights (save with family when I was younger). So I'm not sure what the good places are to stay. I do know that for the adventuresome types on a budget there's supposedly a pretty cool youth hostel somewhere. (Haven't been there myself though.)
My ex-beau is in Maine (*sheds a ceremonial tear)
I want to go to Alice Lake this summer. You have to go through Vancouver to get there. hint hint
that guy is history, Charlemagne! We know where your wee heart has gone, lass.
Who's in?
:)
Oh yes, we WILL camp this summer. I've never been to Alice Lake, but let's go! :-)
i've been wanting to ask what Mars Hill is...i guess i could google it (and you're always welcome in Vermont!)
http://www.mhgs.eduI have been to the Connecticut (I think) River, which I remember as being in Vermont (which if true, makes no sense)--I was at a workshop at Smith College, and we went canoeing on the river. I also have friends in FL who are from Maine and Vermont--the husband grew up in some small town in VT, and his mom still lives there. They go every summer and invite me, but they drive me nuts, so I never have. All that to say, I need to explore New England someday, so thanks for the invite to your state. And you have done a lot of reading! Wow!
my friend is a Liscenced Clinical Psychologist and she got her degree from Smith!i looked up Mars on line this morning, but wasn't able to find out much cuz i didn't know (at that point) what you were studying...will investigate further from home!
