this morning #561.

this morning, with retirement just four more work days away, he began this one by surfing the web for “top ten island surf locations.” all the photos on the travel websites were pure polynesian pleasure. if he was going to learn to surf, this seemed like the sexiest way to go about it. for the last fifty or so years of his life, he’d confined his vacations to the continental united states. it was time to leave the mainland, get some sun for once while he still could. nobody could stop him now. his wife had left him years ago. all his kids had kids of their own. with this job off his back & a pension in his pocket, he was hoping to finally make some waves of his own.
