12 days since my last post, and it's probably time to officially note the likelihood that there won't be any sailing posts here until late October or early November, when I return to San Carlos / Guaymas and get
Chemistry back in the water for a couple weeks of Sea of Cortez cruising and then more southwardliness - hopefully all the way to Florida this time. And yes, one of my favorite things to do is make up my own words that sound cooler than the real word.
Since my last post I've been writing a lot, but mainly working on that Internet thing, trying to regain a level of financial comfort. The writing of late hasn't show up here in the blog because, frankly, I hope that someday you're gonna have to pay for it. At least $1.50 in the discount overstock book-by-the-pound bin. There are actually two books in the works, and they're such kick-ass ideas that I can't reveal them here. Okay, well, they'll both take my voice and my special bit of
sappy/dream-pop/love-notes-to-reader style, I guess, to pull off, so I'll say that if you read my "
I Saw You..." post, you'll get a little bit of a sneak preview. I have many of those episodes in my brain and journals, just itching to get out, and continue to have more almost every day. Call them "dating essays," maybe? Expect me to one day be
hawking my book on Oprah, though to avoid a public backlash I'll freely admit on national TV that I've fictionalized some details to make myself look much cooler than I actually am.
What's next? I head out tomorrow very early from Seattle to Florida to be with my boys for three weeks, then to Colorado for a wedding, then back to Seattle late June. The posts will be less frequent than when I'm cruising, and much more about dating and literary stuff, but I'll still be here.
