Thursday, August 07, 2003 ( 10:15 AM ) Melody Me and Be and Gilligan Makes Three One more day and I am off to lovely Ocracoke Island, North Carolina, my favorite vacation spot of all time, for a whole week! Needless to say, the anticipation is making it impossible to focus on work. Ah Ocracoke-- no phone, no fax, no disgruntled authors and editors. No laptop either! That's right! I'm not taking it with me. I'm taking my cell phone, but reception is terrible on the island, so I will probably be completely in communicado for at least 5 days, and that's how I like it. To hell with technology. I cannot wait. Belinda and I purchased boogie boards at a garage sale a couple of weeks ago, and they're already packed. I'm going body surfing the minute I get there. Nothing can free your mind from the rigors of the daily grind like sand in your bathing suit and getting smacked in the face by a wave. I'm going to lie on the beach. I'm going drink at Howard's Pub. I'm going to down fried oysters until my fingers and toes swell like sausages from the sodium. I'm going to be happy and carefree and without responsibility. # |
