NORMAL?

The house is quiet.

No visitors.

It is likely to remain that way for awhile.

November maybe?

Bitter sweet.

But this does not bring things back to normal.

I am leaving Monday for my three day annual 'vacation'.

Just me.

I go to Shelter Island in San Diego and sit on the beach for three days.

No heat. It will be in the 70s.

It might even rain! We are all due for the dregs of Dean in the Southwest. In the desert that will mean some more monsoonal flow. Humidity.

In San Diego, humidity is a given but the lower temps make it all kinda nice.

Good for the skin.

I will be quiet. Read. Walk. Look.

I stay in a place that we used to use for small training programs. It is nice, not roughing it.

I will eat there and probably not even get into the car.

Shelter Island is a yachting center. I don't have a boat and I am not interested much in them but I am totally interested in the culture. There is great people watching.

There will be pelicans. Other sea birds.

It isn't Provincetown where some of my family are spending this week just yards from where we used to stay.

I am envious.

But, the Pacific is an ocean, San Diego has a bay.

I forgot to mention that I will be watching the naval ships coming in and out of the channel just across from my room.

And the city. Just across the bay! The urban experience without any urb.

I am looking forward to it.

And three days will be quite enough.
