My Posh Pad
well, i’m working my butt off down in p’cola these days. i actually am putting in 60 hour weeks, and i never get to see my girlfriend, but at least i’ve got a pretty sweet place to stay.
i will tell you this, though, i experienced the absolute nadir of my entire professional career in p’cola. you see, i’m forced to share this luxury condo with ray (here’s ray’s bedroom)

and ray decided on our very first morning there that he just had to iron. now, my room is big, and i had not closed the bathroom door, b/c my bedroom door was closed. so as i’m finishing up in the bathroom, i hear a rustling noise outside. too big to be a racoon, so i say “um, ray, are you out there?” from 5 feet away i hear his voice “yeah, just getting the iron.” it took me about 3 days to feel comfortable in the condo after that.
anyway, here are some more photos of and from the place







oh, and a note on this last one….this was taken as “rita” was stirring up the gulf. i went bodysurfing in that water that very morning. that was not a good idea and i scared the crap out of myself and have mostly stayed out of the water since.


i think these pictures are sublime and amazing!
