Good Reading

Just finished "Shadow Divers" last night. It was a wonderful book. While it was about the discovery of a German U boat off the New York/New Jersy coast (happened while I was diving with GSU and I heard one of the divers speak at the Boston Sea Rovers Suba Conference), it made for a lot of self searching and "condem"plation. It has inspired me to think, just think about putting some thoughts of a demented and failing mind to paper. The name of the boat used to travel to and from the U-boat, which was in 230+ feet of water, was Seeker. The name of the paper with my ramblings may well be: Seeking: the remblings of a demented and failing mind - what's true and what's not. Now I seem to be slipping is this some kinda nostalgia. Last blog sappy and this one with this sort of garbage. I think I need a good deep dive; say to the U856 or maybe with Billy Young in one of the north Florida caves to get me back into living. One thing about the book that impressed me was the comaraderie and dedication to purpose.

Enough, enough of this b....

Sanua & Swim after spectatular Sun Set

Yes, this is only part of what you are missing. Artsy aint it!


The pool has a special effect this time of night
You can pretend, but you won't feel the warmth of being here with me.

As the song says, "Some people never find it, some only pretend; but, for me, I want to live happily ever after, every now and then." I figure if I put enough of the now and thens together life can be very happy indeed and I won't have to wait for the end of act III of a three act life (play).

Another Beautiful Day in Paradise

Yes, it is another beautiful day and the end of the golden time capped off the day by lasting for more than an hour. Pictures were taken about 18:00. Last night's sunset was spactacular. Maybe I'll try to catch the one tonight digitally.

Lovely, especially as I listen to the tunes Laurie catured on the i-pod.

Lonely, wish you were here to enjoy all of this with me. Notice the last two postings have no one in them; but are still very inviting.

Being stuck inside on a day like this!



Think I will break from writing my Sunday talk and tak my bread, grapes and water to the deck for a break. Wish you all were here to enjoy this with me.
