Greetings from North Myrtle Beach

Life is good...

I gotta tell ya, until you sit on a warm beach, sucking down cold margaritas, you just haven't lived. Mother Goose and I brought our two kids and two of their friends down here to Little River South Carolina, home of the World Famous Blue Crab Festival. This was their first trip to the ocean and they absolutely love it. We're staying in a condo that sits right on the Inter-Coastal Water way and we're about a 7 minute drive from the beach. It's amazing how good life can be when you're away from work, politics and the daily grind.

I'm sitting on the rear patio now, hijacking somebody's unsecure wireless connection and checking out the thunderstorms back home on the radar. Poor bastards... I'm enjoying a nice glass of wine, and we're heading down to the beach tonight for what promises to be a very bright moon over the Atlantic ocean.

For those of you on the left coast, I feel bad for you. The difference in water temperature here compared to out there is unbelievable. The water here is cool enough to be refreshing, but warm enough to stay in it for hours on end.

Well, I must go now, my glass is empty and I'm doing everything I can to avoid logging on to Fox News to see what Political Nightmares may be occuring while I'm away. Enjoy your work week. Oh, by the way, the crab legs here are fantastic! The shrimp isn't bad either. If you get the chance, get down here because life is better when you're on the beach...

Here's a pic of the view from our patio and the moon tonight. Yeah, life is good...
