Sand Castle Lesson
1
Barb hired a professional sand castle artist Mark Flynn to give the family a lesson. Not too bad for a first try. And lots of fun. Here’s the flickr set and slide show.
It’s still a beautiful “beach”
I’ve been thinking a good bit about the nature of reality. Specifically, the notion that we create our reality through consciousness. I was thus occupied when I noticed the sky above the beach here in Destin seemed just a little too perfect.

Here is the obligatory yes-I-went-down-to-the-beach photo.
14 hours, 900 miles
That’s a lot of windshield time for smays.com. But the company was good (Barb) and the distance still within my 1,000 mile drive-rather-than-fly range. Did I mention how much I hate the hassle of flying. You know what? I can’t wait for the current batch of American carriers to go belly-up. Sooner that happens, the sooner we’ll see alternatives. I’m serious as a depressurized cabin. But hey, I’m on vacation. Happy thoughts only.
The Miltenberger Clan has gathered here in beautiful Destin for a week of sun and fun. The nearby Starbucks (sorry, Taisir) has free wifi and I have some good books I’ve been stockpiling. Gotta run, it’s time for my post-drive bottom massage.
Miltenberger Family Reunion
Destin-bound for the semi-annual (bi-annual?) Miltenberger Family Reunion. The clan will be descending on Amberjack Landing this weekend. I’m not a beach kinda guy (see Dudley Moore in “10”) but I love getting together with Barb’s family. Blogging will be sparse unless I can find a place with a cooler AND wifi.

Barb always gets better pix than I and brought back some nice ones from her recent trip to Destin. This is my favorite. Somewhere out on the web there’s a photo of Barb taking this picture of the man taking the photo of the family on the beach.
