Today is Emancipation Day in the Bahamas ... a rather low-key celebration [it's too blinkin' hot] of the first day of legal emancipation which happened on the first Monday in August in 1834.
It's also the first day of Crawfish Season ("spiny lobster"). And a lazy day at the house getting used to the Powerbook. After so many years of PCs, it ain't easy!
The picture is the sunrise view from our balcony ... which is currently in reconstruction along with all the windows in the house. Ugh. Driving us nuts. Dust everywhere. We were thankful for a day of relative peace and a refreshing swim at high tide.
Been talking with Neil (son no. 1 and a computer engineer) on and off for a while about the desire to include a blog in the updated version of www.logosbahamas.com.
[Wait! No. Don't go there unless you've already seen it. One of the secure hosts we used is dead and the site is ooooogly, like one of my childhood friends would have said. Wait for Neil's new, neat version! Soon.]
What'll I write about? Dunno specifics. Plans, though, are to talk lots about books, which are a passion. Fiction. Thoughful books in general. And if there's a twist - something unusual - all the better.
Hold on, then ...
