when i travel out to see the folks / and the east coast kids / i usually lay up in Delaware for a few weeks / pretend to be Selkirk/ marooned on an island, i hack a pair of shorts/ stop bathing and resume my routine 
wake up at five / drive to either Indian river or whiskey beach and surf / no matter what the conditions / or what size the oceans sails my way / i love these predawn patrols / the dolphins and their baby's come to say hi / usually just me and MeeMee freezing in the water / waiting for sets / and the sun to come up / i need to be in the water before sunrise 
then i surf until i can't move / go home to a huge Josephina breakfast / a quick nap / try to go thrift'n / hit the beach again with kids for epic shorepoundings / fishing and hermit crabbing 
back at the shack for games and more food / maybe a boat ride / and then another dusk off surf check / and back at home for cards / games and desserts / now you know why i love Delaware, Sea Colony and the UpInTheAirHousethanks Grandma and Grandpa~and little Ms. Meemee for patiently taking these photo's and enduring hours of boredom
NE!L~not in the green rm.
