this photo conjured a need

ocean beach, san francisco

that bird looks like mikey but chicken joe is my favorite in "surf's up". he knows how to enjoy life. he is the real surfer in the movie -- the great beach bum who practices zen. but with the daily routine of hearing out the aches and woes of patients, i forget my cherished philosophy. and this morning, i find this photo which i took eons ago. that was one vacation that was long enough, relatively stress-free and far and away. two weeks in a great town ... with just the wife!!! it was bliss!!!
well, i sounded off to the wife and she promised a vacation soon: vietnam. 8 days of hanoi will be excellent! it is far enough from work and close enough to the europe dream trip. anyway, flight has been booked. i will keep chicken joe in mind -- life is a beach ... albeit with occasional tsunamis! and, i better get out of this sickbed soon.
