the kindle
i am addicted to the kindle
i resisted
thought i would hate it

i needed a real book
that first crack of the binding
something heavy in my hand
how wrong i was

its like a jetsons contraption
thin light magical
click ur way to literary heaven
truly the best invention since crazy glue

only available on amazon
costs a lot
but worth every cent
now if they could only put a light feature on it

but u cant have everything
i know
i have tried
its impossible

i am in miami
it was over 100 today
the ocean clean and bright blue
blake hanging with me in the sun

a nature boy - my son
catching snails and sea horses
spotting red tailed hawks
and baby manatees

we watched a discovery channel special
about the uss indianapolis
the largest shark attack in history
during ww2

900 men went into the ocean
for 4 days and nights
no food or water - few life rafts
thousands of sharks

only 300 survived
it was haunting
i cant stop thinking about it
neither can he

we dove for sand dollars
15 feet below the boat
think there r sharks he asked me
no way i told him

if there r - i will punch them in the snout
he said - very sure of himself
i will gouge their eyes and pull on their gills
yes i told him - u would survive

CRAZY FOR THE STORM
a new book by norm ollestad
completely captivating
a boy who was taught to thrive and survive
then did just that

available on kindle

speaking of which
i am off to finish melissa gilberts new book
PRARIE TALE : A MEMOIR
she carved out her truth
there in a hollywood life of pretend
i am happy for half pint
i like her a lot

to stay in the moment
not off in the what if
or what was
 now is the gift

peace out peeps
