South of the Border

First, some house cleaning:
To make sure I keep a regular updating schedule, I will now update on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I need to make sure there is an incentive for me to keep writing. That's all.

Ok on to Mexico:
My parents know someone who owns a house in Rocky Point. My extended family all went out there for a long weekend. I took Friday off and spent Thursday night with my parents so we could leave early in the morning. Four hours later, I was on a beach in Mexico, drinking beer.
Most of my younger cousins were there. This means babysitting for Head. I took each of the kids kayaking. We played frisbee and bocci.
Because there's only so much time you can spend on the beach and because I'm insane, I brought my PS2 and Guitar Hero 1 & 2. I played it so much my thumbs are still sore from the effort. The fast songs are just brutal on my strumming thumb.
I got about 200 pages through the newest Pynchon book. It's good so far but it's slow going. Kind of like Dostoevsky in that there's a lot of characters and a lot of plot lines and they all swoop and dive around each other.
I really wanted to sleep out on the back porch as I could hear the waves crash onto the shore and the cool breeze come off the horizon. Instead I had to watch the kids in the guest house. Boo.
Either way, it was a very relaxing time. We pulled back into Phoenix at 3 p.m. and I got back home a half hour or so later.
