I won’t lie. I miss the hell out of Mrs P.

Luckily I have a lot of good friends, ones that I can hang with in New York, and ones I can reach by phone around the world – and my family makes for pretty good company, too. So it hasn’t been terrible. But without my girl, things aren’t complete. We’re supposed to be together – we’ve got a plan!

Relax, I tell myself. The plan is still in place. It just feels like a giant interruption.

Meanwhile, I have been having quite a lot of fun.

There was the giant Phish festival – SuperBall IX – in Watkins Glen, NY, which is practically a home town for me, with Seneca Lake and Geneva – the birthplace of my grandfather – right there. I’ve been going to Seneca Lake since I was three months old, but I never went to a three-day rock festival at the race track and camped out on the grounds – over Fourth of July weekend. That was awesome.

I even managed to get up to the old lake house and have a swim!

My campgrounds for the weekend were comfortable and pleasant:

Roughing it (not)

I went to Nantucket with the GRP – my old reggae band from college. What a fantastic weekend!

My friends took a great shot of me walking on a beautiful beach:

I like long walks on the beach ... lol

Isn't my friend's house the cutest?

The aftermath - two weeks of burn and peeling :-/

Yeah, I did get pretty burned, which was dumb. Gia has had some trouble lately with that, and thank God it’s all worked out OK. But we should all be careful, eh? Yes, indeed.
