When I visit the coast, the most important thing is to eat seafood. I want to sample and try all the various seaside dishes available.
I try to eat a different variety at every seating.

Bicycling in Savannah
Bicycling is the only way to get around Savannah. There are so many parks, shops, and restaurants. You are stopping and going frequently.
The parks are littered throughout the historical district are cool. I do not have a favorite park. but I like to cruise around all of them. Traffic is not terrible, just stay off the main one way streets and the main east to west street.
Restaurants are numerous and you have many choices. I like the ones on the river with a second floor balcony where you can look at the river. I eat seafood since I do not get any fresh seafood in Tennessee – shrimp, oysters, mussels, and clams.
There are a number of coffee shops, but sitting on the river is best. I am a sucker for Starbucks because they are convenient and consistent. I have found in traveling that most of the time that Starbucks are in prime locations.
Riding bicycles along the river is grand. I enjoy watching the gigantic ships move up and down the river. The air is cooler on the river, too.
Savannah is a great place to ride bicycles.
Slave
Slave I am a slave To my thoughts Stuffed in a cave I had my shots Stuck here Wasting away Not a seer Wishing to stray I stayed for a girl And her daughter We had a twirl Not living water I stayed for my mother Who is her golden years Illnesses one after another Outliving her peers I stayed for my health I fight craziness No problems with wealth Persistent haziness A new phenomenon Snuck up on me A black swan A dead sea I can not inhale I can not exercise I can not exhale I can not energize Doctors do not know What is the matter Go with the flow Endless chatter Stuck in this place Waiting it out My time and space I have doubt Doubt of today Doubt of relationship Doubt of future Doubt of fraternity A slave to my existence Waiting for it to end I am leading the residence Nothing to pretend My relationship is over My health is questionable My mother will die My life is debatable Pretend I might Fight I must Chase the light All in or bust Fix what is wrong Seek the solutions Remain strong Proclaim resolutions Resolution to try Resolutions to strive Resolution to fly Resolution to live Might change your expectations Might change your attitude Might rearrange your foundation Might rearrange your fortitude It is not finished It never will be It is not diminished It is what you see See the good See the opportunities See your livelihood See your communities There is a view For you to move ahead It is up to you You are not dead
Traveled to London
I am consolidating my notes and pictures into a travel book to Europe. I visited Europe two years ago and I took the train around Europe for twenty-six days. I traveled to eleven countries and visited 22 cities – London, Brussels, Antwerp, Amsterdam, Berlin, Wittenberg, Zurich, Budapest, Warsaw, Vienna, Milan, Paris, Venice, Florence, Rome, Bari, Thessaloniki, Athens, Corinth, Barcelona, Madrid, and New York.
Excert from Book
“Now the tricky part, I had studied how to perform this maneuver, and I knew it would be confusing and chaotic. Yes, it was all that and more. I was a little punch drunk from the long trip, so it was hard to get my bearings. I am glad that I downloaded the Citymapper for my android phone. Once I got on the train, I could sit down and open the app, and study on it. I knew where I was going, but it gave me a little more comfort.
I made it to Tower Bridge station and transferred to the District line to get to Notting Hill. Notting Hill was the location that I had picked out for my stay. Everyone remembers the movie Notting Hill and the warm, good vibes it gave you. I understand it is a movie, and it was planned and acted out to perfection. Everything turns out rosy pink in the end, and is that not what we want for our lives. I think so.”
Understand
[responsivevoice_button voice="UK English Female";setDefaultRate(1.5) buttonposition=”after”] Understand I do not understand How you can live Living so bland When we strive Strive to play Strive to laugh Strive to excite Strive to life I know you And you know me I am not looking for a coup Live to be free Free to enjoy each other Free to come and go Free to smother Free to flow Smother you with love Smother you with kindness Smother you not shove Smother your blindness Blindness to my strengths Blindness to my virtues Blindness to my talents Blindness to my advantages Not here to take Or to divide Not here to break Or to pick sides To compliment To help To serve To encourage Put on the brakes But who knows What are the stakes And we froze Too serious Leave mom and dad How mysterious I must be bad Yes, violent Yes, arrogant Yes, a giant child Yes, a loud oaf All are true We all have faults Nothing new Not always a waltz How do you see it And how it is portrayed A story to knit A complicated braid My story is mine And I know my heart I have a shine For a girl who is smart She is splendid And kind Not easily offended Has her own mind She is a nurturer She is funny She is an adventurer She is sunny Hard to lose A real treasure Can cause the blues And all the pleasure It is so She has chosen Sent me the memo We are frozen Time sits still Between her and more A long climb up the hill To the next open door But remember this The ride down Will find bliss I will lose my frown
