Can it really be this simple? Several weeks ago, I found Lee's Blog and found myself drawn to this medium as I journey from teaching to lawyering, Bloomington to Columbia (via the Florida route). Shockingly, I misplaced the link, and couldn't find it again to save my life. It only took me two weeks to have the brilliance to e-mail Lee, and less than 24 hours for her to respond.
And now I begin my blogging adventure, on a hot Monday afternoon, while the dogs sleep off the effects of a morning jaunt at Paw Park in Sarasota. Although I've figured out how to post pictures, I won't be able to until this weekend, when I have the adapter I need to get the pictures from the camera to my new laptop. Just boring text until then.
Although I've spent a lot of time in Orlando this summer, I'm now settled into the beach house at Longboat for the next three weeks. The family shall arrive this weekend for the annual Florida Vacation. Be sure to turn in next week for exciting blogs about Baby Rachel, Teenage Aeirin, and FRD.
All ready the summer has been filled with adventuresome mishaps involving the beach house. I almost wonder if there is some sort of cosmic message that I am ignoring. My first trip here, I discovered the beach house had some uninvited guests of the rat variety, who have since been. . . well. . .removed.
However, when I returned to clean their left behind mess, I found myself in the midst of a serious red tide. In addition to dead fish littering the beach, I found myself hacking every time I set foot outdoors. Harsh cleaning inside and air irritants outside did not seem to be a good mixture, so I returned to Orlando again.
Next there was Hurricane Dennis blowing by, which in reality only brought high tides (like to the west side of the house), rain that pounded onto the skylights above the bed all night, and wind that picked the sand off the beach and embedded it into my thighs. Actually, Mike and I had a fabulous time playing rummikub and . . .well. . . playing more rummikub.
Well, nothing to weighty or important yet, but I've only just begun.

A blog is born! Well done... Always an exciting development. Florida sounds like an adventure. I look forward to future installments.
I had to laugh while reading your adventures - you were an amazing teacher but I can definetely see that you will be an even better lawyer - just in your writing - I'd hate to have to argue against you in a court room!
