Day 295

Has it really been that long? My hair is longer than it has ever been my beard is starting to grow out for a second time.
Finally, though, there is some light at the end of this long, long tunnel. We all just need to hang in a bit longer — by our very fingernails, if necessary.

I have been eagerly waiting for this since it was first announced and my good friend Daniel let me know this morning (via our family and friends Discord server) that it was finally available here in California. It is not like I have gone much of anywhere for the last 261 days, but it always good to keep aware of what is happening around you.

At the beach…

Took a much-needed getaway to drive out to Malibu today and breathe the ocean air.
Found an empty spot to sit, stare, and photograph.
Munched on a takeaway lunch from Neptune’s Net, which is doing business via drive thru. Rosanne got her favorite, scallops, so all was right with the world. 😄

Day #208

Had to go to bank to move some accounts today, not that I wanted to.
Still isolating except for critical needs like this.
