See those little chairs right by the water, the ones with the fold-up shades? I ate on one of those.

Meanwhile, snow warnings have popped up all day for Raleigh, which is, as anyone who's lived there knows, never really prepared to handle snow.

So, earlier tonight, after only a few minutes of snow, this was the view from my kitchen to my back deck.

Meanwhile, this was the view from my seat at dinner, where I ate under the stars with the ocean in view.

I'm sorry for everyone back home in Raleigh. 

Yeah, I could get used to this--if I could just find a way to be way, way wealthier than I am.

Ah, well.  All this typing has tuckered me out.  Time to go sit on my patio, drink Coke Zero, listen to the ocean, and think deep thoughts.
