Turn off the haze around the shore 
turn off the crazy way I feel 

I'll stay away from you no more 

I've come home to stop yearning

The Little Sad Man with the Little Dog that Hates the Beach seems less sad this summer. Maybe pooch too. 


28 days for the last six years. 168 days. 


Life’s work is to wake up, to let the things that enter into your life, wake you up rather than put you to sleep. Open, be curious and develop some sense of sympathy for everything that comes along. Get to know its nature and let it teach you what it will.

OMG MORE GOOD NEWS … found a place - MGM - on the ocean … smaller … believe it or not better views … bigger porch … 2 good, small bedrooms … fingers crossed re: availability for '26. 


Nice grey afternoon. The Short Dad walks his kids down the path to the beach. It’s a shame it’s 76 degrees and he’s in a tee shirt. Even though it hugs him … 


Am waiting after 17 years for the phone to ring.  


Said goodbye to Barbie John across the way - who knows everyone and everything here. I told him I have a crush on Small Dad. He has a crush on Tall Dad who looks like a combo of a more rugged Eugene O'Neil and James Agee. He says they switch off and take a break from their 3 kids round two in the afternoon and visit the Meat Rack. I thought it was a thing of the past. Six years here in the Perry House and I had no idea. Flies on me. Mom was right - she raised 6 late bloomers.


coffee, blogged, cleaned up, packed, looked at a place, ocean, music, cabaret.


the Babs fest at the community was beyond my wildest expectation. She was blonde and charming and pregnant and had her act down. wonderful. very.
