So Now You Know

Did I ever mention how much I love lighthouses?

We spent part of Christmas Day walking in Discovery Park. As everyone knows, I am not good with green things—like grass, parks, gardens, plants—so I was surprised to be vertical and with a heartbeat at the end of this walk. Even Jay commented, “Wow, you’re walking a lot faster than before!”

[Translation: "Wow, you sure are not complaining as much as you used to!"]

There’s always something when I’m in a park. I’ve got to pee! Wait for me! This is too steep! I’ve got to pee!

But the expectation of seeing the lighthouse kept me going.

Since I was little, I always wanted to live in a lighthouse. In my fantasy, there was a typewriter, a weathered wooden table and chair, and a lighthouse. And I would look out onto the ocean, and write all day long.

How quaint that seems now.

These days, I wouldn’t dream of moving into a lighthouse without a DSL connection and cable TV. Yes, Cable TV, so I can watch the sea waves crash over The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
