Vacation, that is. π

https://hemmingplay.wordpress.com/about/ More at the link. I remember him. He was sitting in the heat on the dock waiting for the ferry to Okracoke, Island in the Outer Banks, NC. It was probably sometime in '72 or '73. He'd driven nearly 12 hours straight and was so tired he couldn't understand the accents of the natives there. I wonder whatever happened to him? I heard a rumor that he married a skinny Irish girl and they settled down somewhere, had a couple of boys, got old. He put on a few pounds. She's still got the girlish shape that caught his eye all those years ago. He probably still has that shirt, though, and still wishes he looked like this. The idiot.

I read somewhere though I don’t know how true – that Shakespeare didn’t travel much. I like to believe he travelled in his mind, therefore, he could get away whenever he desired an escape from the pen or people – perhaps both. This idea works when one can’t properly vacation or make a much needed escape during the summer.
I’m glad you made your escape and have safely returned to your desk – now get to work π

love the header image, I also loved the one with the leaping horse – gorgeous and dreamy (fantastic pictures for those mental vacations)

The new picture is compelling with it’s distant perspective and lighting. As for Marcus’ words – a home run. Jayne

Hi, there.
It’s been a while.
I’ve been away on vacation, but just getting back and trying to get back in the daily writing routine. I laughed at your spider story, by the way. That’s dedication!!!

Just got back from vacation too. I still have a hangover from the 3-weeks I spent in Manila. I wanted to go back as soon as I got here in Washington State.
Re: spider….I was just too afraid to smack it π
