What's Cooler than being Cool?
I'm on a beach in Cape Cod (on "business"), so apologies for those of you who might not have a complete day without your TLBR fix - hardy har har har. In fact, I must admit, I'm feeling less a man by not writing. By the way, Martha's Vineyard is merely a two hour swim from here.
So let's recap today - did the drive from Hades to God's Country in something of 2.5 hours. Tack on another 1.5 hours, and I arrived, unscathed, in Falmouth.
Now, I must give the folks who are running this here clambake credit - you might actually be able to hold a clambake here. And after a somewhat painful meeting with my comrades-in-arms, there was only one place to go, one thing to order, and one thing to do: (in order) the bar on the beach, a Sam Summer or seven, and book a room for the night.
Tonight, I have nothing more to do than root for the Sox to avoid the sweep at the hands of the 2004 runner-up World Champs; to root, root, root for the home team in Milwaukee and if they don't win it's a shame because the 2004 American League runners-up suck; and enjoy a Miller Lite or 12. (if you're scoring at home, I have a problem.)
So for all of you that were expecting a breakfast, lunch, or even mid-day snack of musings from your left-handed guru today, many apologies. In fact, I'll leave it to the musical words of Chris Martin - his best song as a member of Coldplay - to take this to the next step...to the next step...
When you try your best, but you don't succeed
When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
When the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
High up above or down below
When you too in love to let it go
If you never try you'll never know
Just watch and learn
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
