Notes from My Journal:
Yesterday, I topped the issue with a photo of the sunset from the porch of our house here in Nicaragua. Above is a photo I took a few minutes ago from that same porch. The reason for the repetition is that I haven’t left the house since I got here on the evening of the 25th. I haven’t walked to the beach. Or the clubhouse. Or the restaurant. And despite self-promises to the contrary, I haven’t been to the gym at Fun Limón. In fact, the rental car that brought me here from Managua is still sitting in the driveway – just where I left it.
I’m hunkered down here because I have a shitload of work I need to get done before the troops arrive on Saturday. And because I know that if I show my face anywhere around the resort, I will have lots of fun and pleasant conversations, and lots of people coming over to say hi, but I won’t get anything done.
You may be wondering why you are getting another issue just a day after the last one. That is because I made another self-promise: to publish more than eight issues this month.
Yesterday’s was the eighth April issue. And with just one day to go before the end of the month, I had to find something for one more issue that wouldn’t take much time to prepare.
So what I’ve done is sorted through the more than 100 video clips I’ve saved over the past few months and selected about 30 that I thought you might enjoy. To make your picking and choosing easier, I’ve tagged them with the requisite adjectives (Funny, Inspiring, Informative, Disturbing, etc.) and, wherever possible, noted the time it will take to watch each one.
