McFeast of McChicken

50 chicken nuggets were stuffed down in one sitting. The doldrums of summer on a college campus I suppose.

The sun takes forever to set...

...on Long Island in the summer.

I don't know if has been the endless lacrosse playing, rolling around in the grass, watching the fire flies or eating the world best bagels, but I wish I found out about Long Island sooner.

I owe much to Matt and Michelle for bringing me out there for a large portion of the last month. Among the many Florida licenses plates I feel close to home, and of course among the compassion and joy.

This song has nothing to do with Long Island, but I found the lyric otherwise proper:

"Makin' points with the stewardess high over long island sound
Shes also spending some time on the island
Too much city madness gives her the blues
They make a date to go dancin' and dinin'."
-Jimmy Buffett; The Weather Is Here, I Wish You Were Beautiful

"I've got my toes in the water..."

Just an average day living across the street from a major hospital.

It is closer than I thought

Hardly a foot on the ground...

Since Dallas, 13 states later, I am somewhere in the Atlantic Northeast bouncing around some.
