Sunday is the one day that I do not teach virtual art classes. On this Sunday I decided to drive straight East to Cocoa Beach.
It was a challenge finding parking, but I finally found a lot by driving north on the side streets close to the beach. I figured any parking spots that had numbers in them must be assigned parking for condos. When I located un-numbered spots I took one.
I had a sandwich packed and some water. I have a small pup tent style umbrella. Unfortunately several of the supports have warped which make it open a bit wonky and lopsided. I am a vampire so it is important to keep my delicate dead flesh out of direct sun light. After a quick swim, I dozed off in the shade of the umbrella. I succeeded in keeping in the shade on this day except for my feet which became two red lobsters at the ends of my legs.
I spent the day listening to the waves and thinking about where my life should be heading. Those dreams took me to northern climbs which were closer to mountains than beaches. Perhaps a large lake near un-touched forest trails could make a good studio. I need to get as far away as I can from the sound of huge aircraft coming in to land a the Orlando International Airport.
