Before Sunset

It's been two weeks since my arrival in Florida. My goodness, time flies. It is a peculiar phenomenon when one thinks, 'What I could do with two weeks of nothing.' and then two weeks of nothing later, you wonder where it all went. I have spent my days reading and writing, lounging by the pool — which is, I'm sorry to gloat, as awesome as it sounds. I have worked on some of my screenplays and even began work on a television series (please, none of that basic cable garbage. HBO-style, baby). It is a tough pursuit because so many people think themselves screen writers, one can never be sure their work is good. Screw 'em. I find it soothing. It provides me a creative outlet and I feel enthusiastic for hours after developing a great idea. Since my uncle arrived I have taken up tennis and think I may stick with it. Apparently I got a wicked awesome forehand. I swing it two-handed which apparently is unusual. However, it feels quite natural to swing the racket and chase down shots. It requires good cardio, good footwork, concentration and quick reflexes — my specialties! I am excited for my trip to the Keys. I leave Friday and spend four days there. I plan on exploring as much of the place as I can. To sign off, a beautiful picture of the sunset on a balmy, spring night in Florida.
