I’m currently in the Bahamas enjoying some peace, quiet, food, and (allegedly) drinks. There’s a hurricane wandering around in the southern islands wreaking havoc. 

I hope that I get to go swimming in the choppy waters before I leave. Swimming in rough waters AFTER a hurricane is one of the most exhilarating experiences I’ve ever had. And the day is normally beautiful and clear given that the system takes clouds and other bad weather with it when it goes. Cleaning up after a hurricane almost always happens on the most beautiful of days. 

The bad news is that I’ll be heading back to NYC probably in time for the lousy weather. BUT, (update) I’ve now moved to within a ten minute walk from work which is helpful on many counts. I also haven’t been on the subway since last Sunday and don’t know when I will be again for sure. That by itself is like a vacation.
