Thus, the reason for the very useful expression - "better luck next time"!

Wishing you and Thomas soaring eagles!

why *is* nature healing? It's like analyzing an artichoke; when you're done peeling back each layer, there's nothing left. With regard to the "tropical" Coronas, what could be more unnatural? It sounds like a lily gilded twice over. I hope you make it to Second Sunday--you could read this essay.

That’s such a good simile, Alan. And yes, the Tropical Coronas were completely ridiculous -- that’s kinda why I liked them. (Not to drink -- they were pretty bad to drink, and if you’re ever looking for depression find a spicy pineapple seltzer and the emotion will find you shortly thereafter -- but just as a funny thing to find on a rainy Maryland beach at the end of November.) I hope I can make it to the reading & I’ll think about fiddling with this essay -- hope I can hear you too.

Now that I know where it is, I can’t believe how many times I’ve driven past it & not even known it was public. Definitely will need to go back when Tropical Seltzer will be more in season, even if they’re never quite tasteful.
