I am on the Oregon coast, having a breather from weeks and weeks of around a 100 inland.

We don't have cable so it was good to see Jon and Stephen last night.

I fnd a good walk on the beach, a hike and a massage more comforting. Laughing not so much, don't find too much funny. Even the cartoons are sad in their truth.
