Right now, I'm sitting at the bar (surprise). Got four customers here for breakfast, and I'm about to have one of our breakfast burritos, which may be the best in the world (behind the SuperSonic Breakfast Burrito, of course). I'm feeling pretty happy. Pepper (the cat) came to work with me today, so the whole family is here. She's been acting a bit like a dog lately, and I find it endearing. She follows me and Jake home at night from the bar, trotting along like she's part of the pack. Very cute.
It's overcast again. It's gotten to the point where it rains at least some every day, but it's still not usually raining. I haven't been out surfing lately, I guess just giving myself a break. Instead I'm reading a lot. I'm most of the way through Buddha by Deepak Chopra, which is a damn fine novel. I'd highly recommend it, to anyone really. It may be kinda like The Shack of Buddhism. It's a story of the Buddha's life, and Deepak is a really excellent storyteller. I'm also most of the way through 1000 Names for Joy by Byron Katie (why is her last name first?). I'm also most of the way through two or three other books. I can't remember the last time I finished a book, come to think of it. Interesting.
Today I have to make a run to Jaco, but plan on finishing Buddha first. Right now, I'm settled. I certainly wasn't, though, last weekend. I felt like I was going through withdraws all weekend, which was strange. I partied hard on Thursday night and didn't have any beer or cigarettes or anything until late Sunday night, and I felt rather shitty. Not sure if it was withdraws or just recovering from a long long night on Thursday, but in any event it sucked. Feeling better again, though. Happy about that.
Spoke with my dad yesterday for the first time in a long time. He kindly offered to fly me home for my birthday to see Ryan when he's born (my first nephew). I may take him up on it. We'll see. I've also been talking a lot with Kris lately, which has been really nice. She seems to be pretty joyful these days, and it rubs off. She sent me a picture of the cats (Grizz and Mav). Missing those guys.
I exchanged a couple of emails with Allison Petrone recently, which was the first time we've really communicated in years. She called a couple of months ago and let me know that she has forgiven me. It caused a mix of emotions in me, many ego driven, but they all ended up in one place: an opportunity to have her back in my life, which is something I cherish. And for that, I thank her.
So, I've got some interesting things on my mind right now that I want to put into a separate blog. I'll get to it.
