Captiva Day 4, mind

We will beat Santa to Walt Disney World.

It’s not a race.

But if it was, we’d win.

A four-hour drive “the back way” to help keep me a more engaged driver. Interstate driving in Florida is tedious for me after 20 minutes.

Happy present moment, anytime Santa’s on the Island.

It feels wonderful to be back.

Feels surreal, also, to finally stay on Captiva since fist visiting Sanibel-Captiva in 1988.

One week until Christmas.

The Voice winner announced last night.

Impeachment vote today.

Biggest contract ever – didn’t happen.

Family is together and we are thankful for being together.

Simple.

Awesome.
