Kamikaze Seagulls, Crayons, Water Ice, TastyKake, and Call Elizabeth @ 9

This week has been incredible...I just flew in from Jersey and I'm back in Greenville. Among many interesting stories from the East Coast, here's a highlight:

I was walking down the Boardwalk in Jersey thinking to myself if some decisions in my life were the best and worrying about how to continue either way...right about then a seagull was flying at me and just missed me but dropped something at my feet. I looked down and saw it was a crayon. My first thought was, "Honestly, when do seagulls carry crayons and what were they planning on doing with it?" And that's what I told my buddy Nick who was walking with me. We turned around to go back to the car and I couldn't help myself, I had to go back and get the crayon. I picked it up and I said, "It's goldenrod!" Then I stopped and thought about it...hmm, it is golden, Rod...things are fine and I worry too much. So I kept the crayon as a reminder.

I had water ice everyday on the east coast...which is it's own monster. It looks like ice cream, it comes in ice cream flavors, but it's ice...imagine processed ice. Here's a pic...


Before I left the coast, Nick said I had to buy TastyKakes...which is like the Little Debbie of the east coast. Check it out...good stuff...

Tonight I called Elizabeth at 9...haven't talked to her in a while...it was good to hear her voice again...I'm always encouraged by her and she's always so supportive. It's people like her that keep my chin up and I'm very grateful...I found out she lives 30 min. away from Tyler, Texas now which is where Josh, the guitar player for Urban D, is from! So I may have to visit her soon...

Anyway, it's time for bed, so g'night all, thanks for the incredible support...
