Today is Monday, 15 October, 2012. I spent the weekend in Monroe, Louisiana at my uncle's funeral. I felt like I needed to write about life a little so pulled up my blogspot page and found this draft from 2008. It will remain unfinished for now, but I will go ahead and publish it incomplete.
I apologize for the 4 year delay in updates!

The overcast skies from the past couple of days finally let loose with gusto in the wee hours of the morning. I woke to hear my first Caribbean rainstorm, smiled, and went back to sleep. Another quick deluge around 9 brought me around for the day.
Walking outside to a damp, still dripping morning, I noticed some movement in the bushes near the room. Straining to see what was causing the little branch to move so much, I caught a glimpse of a tiny body vibrating a mist of water from iridescent green plumage. It was a hummingbird.
Yes, I grabbed the camera.
He must have found me fascinating as I was able to get within inches of him.
When he was finished looking at me, he flew away.
Given all that I saw of Tobago the day before, I decided to keep the car a second day. After a quick breakfast of local fruit and delicious dried sausage I smuggled in from Penshorn's Meat Market in Marion, Texas, I took a trip down to the car rental place and extended the contract.
