And a pure reflection of the colors of the flag of the Bahamas. This was taken at Big D’s Conch Stop, which was an absolutely gorgeous place to eat by the sea. I discovered that I am indeed allergic to conch (sorry conch, three strikes and you’re out). I don’t like eating conch anyway because of the time I dove one out of the water at Cow Wreck Beach and it looked at me with its little eyes as if it were saying, “Are you gonna EAT ME????” It looked so scared that I put it out far away from anyone else who might be looking for lunch.
Great Exuma, Bahamas.

Amazing to think that it has been four years since I’ve been in Mexico. I’m hoping we can get back there next year. As the fall progresses and winter falls, you can expect to see a lot of beach pictures on the Photo of the Day.

I love color. It’s so nice that I have scarlet and turquoise in my living room now. Pat’s house, while panelled in wonderful old knotty pine, is all beige. Why is it that men like beige so much? Is it just easier to make a decision about beige? Does it just require less thought?
I just discovered that there’s a “Dark Shadows” Festival in July in Burbank. (Burbank?!) Now, I don’t know if I would really fit in there. My fan status was the same as many people my age (including Johnny Depp, who is hoping to play Barnabas in the planned Tim Burton movie version of the ’60s daytime gothic soap. And it would be worth going just in case Johnny Depp is there in person, wouldn’t it, ladies?) Anyway, back to my fan-dom — we used to hurry home from school to watch this wierd, quirky show every day, and even as unsophisticated as we were, were astounded by the poor cinematography, entertained by the perilous mistakes of live television, amused by the fact that Julia ALWAYS had her mouth open, and annoyed by the fact that Barnabas could never reconnect with his true love, what with constantly changing centuries and incarnations. Yes, folks, vampires and werewolves were popular long before the Twilight series. But I’m not one of those people who can recite every line, dress in character, or even explain the progression of beings that was Daphne-Maggie-Angelique-Cassandra (or something like that.) So maybe I wouldn’t fit in at the festival. But it might make a good story. And it would definitely be a unique experience. Hmmm.
I am coughing so much that it’s making me throw up — probably TMI — sorry, but it’s random.
My new website for my new business is up and running – still need to add some samples, but it looks pretty good. A friend helped me toot my own horn more, as that’s always been tough for me, and the first version was too shrinking violet.
Kendra and I have finally exchanged the last of our Christmas presents. Oh wait, I still have to send some to E-Bro. Darn!
I was coughing so much last night that I only got about 3 hours of sleep. The only good thing about getting that little sleep is that you have a pretty good shot at getting a better night’s sleep the next night.
There’s a bar in Nanjing, China called the Rising Sun Anger Release Bar. You can drink, break glasses and beat up the staff. Really. And most of its customers are women.

I am one of those unfortunates whom Nyquil makes jittery. Hence, I look like the disgusting sick people in the Nyquil commercials even when I am awake. Sigh. Snort.
