Last night I was sitting barefoot and in shorts on the front patio, looking out over the endless vista of cowpasture while drinking a nice cocktail. This after the usual lovely late-night swim. This morning however, there were the tranquilizers and the pre-flight complimentary cocktails and next thing I knew I was waking up in Baltimore.

Now I’m wearing too damned many clothes and there’s this slippery white stuff all over the ground and a lovely walk and latenight swim are most assuredly not on the agenda.

Damn. How’d this happen? I clearly migrated north too early.
