Good morning. It is 2026-05-27, and it’s a Wednesday. Canceled the last of the social hang out for the week. Going to do laundry and start packing for the ocean today. Have an analog bag set up with 2 books (Up in the Old Hotel by Joseph Mitchell; The Solitary Gourmet written by Masayuki Kusumi and illustrated by Jiro Taniguchi), a bigger notebook (for bigger thoughts), and a clipboard. Going to fill my backpack with 3 changes of clothes, and a dufflebag with all the soft goods that we need. Ordered a bag of preground coffee. Set up the sleep machine. Grab the fanny pack and hoodie and I’ll be ready to go.
Heading to the ocean for 4 days. Watch the waves. Eat good food. Wander the beach. Make love to the partner. Scribble in notebooks. All is well.
