Wonderland or Not

I sit here, after a few days of blogging quiescence, open my posting page (as habit dictates), and it suddenly occurs to me I have absolutely no idea what to write. Not only that, but my blogging appetite, usually ravenous, is suppressed.

Is there some kind of stimulant I can take for this I wonder? Something similar to what people take to provoke their desire for food? I’m sure there’s a costly remedy somewhere, though had I predicted this - respite induced decline of blogging vigor - I could have bought an inexpensive over the counter treatment while on my trip.

My trip:

You know what goes on in Mexico stays in Mexico, along with a few other things as it turns out.

In the short time period between my arrival - after a small dinner, trying to place a call to my family to let them know I was in Mexico, and finding the international roam to be full of suckage - I walked to the beach, a mere quarter mile on a lit path, and somewhere between the restaurant, the beach, the beach bar, and my residence, I misplaced my camera, my cellphone, and my favorite sunglasses.

The camera eventually turned up, the sunglasses and cellphone remain in the land of things once mine.

Sure, I’m bitter. The truth hurts.

I got in after midnight last night, having spent most of the day in airports. While serving my sentence at Miami International Airport I was able to procure four Cuban sandwiches for my cousin. The Cuban section of my family insists a certain cafe at Miami International makes the best Cuban sandwiches around. I don’t eat meat, so I wouldn’t know. I bought four and stuffed them in my bag as sort of a gift anyway. They did have the best café con leche I’ve had in some time, I drank three, could have easily consumed another had they not finally called me for boarding. The smell of those sandwiches proliferated throughout the cabin all the way home, as did the craving for another latté.

While I was gone O.C. had a birthday, a party as a matter of fact, Pia was published in New York Social Diary - New York Shopping Memories, and the elusive Mizzy B made my heart go pitter patter by returning - sort of.

Great things happen when I leave.

Do you think I should take it personally?

Speaking of bitter, Arrogance and Small-Town Voters , at EvolutionBlog is one of the best posts I’ve seen about this bitterness.

“Of all men’s miseries the bitterest is this, to know so much and to have control over nothing” - Herodotus

Exactly.

Ah, the webs from between my blogging toes have almost fully disintegrated, on this my 1001st post.
Peace

The view out my window gave an appearance of warmth influencing my decision on the thickness of my sweats for my run. It was appearance only. Once outside the realization that sun does not always equal heat hit me.

I don’t think I’ve ever wanted spring so badly, and this after a fairly mild winter. I was hoping my Easter Monday holiday would be warmer, but it appears this weather is stuck here for a week or so.

One of my very first real friends in Maryland was a girl named Emily. Emily moved to Colorado a couple short years after we met, but she was a friend to remember, and one I’ve remained on contact with.

Somewhere in the middle of her college career Emily decided all she really wanted to do in life was to own and run some kind of bed and breakfast establishment, or ranch. Em changed schools, switched majors and headed in a direction which she felt would allow her to gain employment and experience for her future endeavor.

Upon graduation last year she landed a job with a hotel chain /corporation out of Canada and landed at a new resort in Mayakoba. Twice a year she has a limited number of days to invite people down, and last fall she invited me. I was unable to go. I am considering taking two days out of my education, plus a weekend and heading down during her time off this time.

This seems more tempting now as the weather is nowhere near as warm as I like it. I’m not sure I can actually arrange it, but it would shore me up for the heavy month to follow. Besides it is a totally free five star resort stay, and considering all the air miles in my family it is more so a bargain.

I won’t miss the Cherry Blossoms either as they are predicted to peak March 27th - April 3rd.

Hoping to catch up on blogs later today, though I need to do my taxes, study, and ponder the logistics of this trip to Mexico in April. All this while polishing off the jellybean assortment my grandmother sent me.

peace
