Jan can you see me

Lets all have a collective laugh the best I could for a title this late in the game but it's the best I could do. And who doesn't like a good pun once in a while. So January 2025 what can I say. Hey Hey, did you see what I did there. Okay that's enough, I swear. There was a punch to the first day but a worthy laugh to say the least into the new year!

If you been around here for a while you know where to find me on the first day of each year. Its the one thing I look forward to each year. I couldn't tell you which city I will be each year and yet I will be but my will feet touch sand and ocean water on the first day is one tradition that will never end. The only debatable thing if the coffee will be in hand or not in the present moment walking on the sand and what place to eat at before going home. The only requirements on the first day of the New Year. And that's all I will say. But saying this while on my second cup of coffee before noon on a Sunday on my bed in April writing about January and heavily distracted by many episodes of Greys Anatomy.

The big thing that happened on the first day of the year didn't happen at the beach or at the Neptune's Net. Which by the way Neptune's Net was yummy as usual surprising crowed on the first day to find a spot. I guess everyone had the same idea as we did. Of course I had my usual fish and chips but also with their world famous clam chowder soup. One could never go wrong with either options if I say as foodie and everything is good there regardless what you choice off the menu. One other thing to say on the subject of food is ice cream heaven. Try LE CAFE DE LA PLAGE the line will be long regardless when you go but it will be worth a taste but there's no ocean view to add. I had the pistachio and I think a coffee flavor underneath.

Okay, now that's over the big thing you all want to know and I will try not make it to long winded for you all . So after the perfect first day of the year of course something would happen. I wouldn't think I could escape something not to happen even on the first day. This is including two Starbucks runs later even to add and all coffees had were fantastic. On the drive back home things were just rolling along no problem from Malibu and halfway home. Remember the keywords :rolling along" in this little story. Just driving on the highway and just passed county lines that we heard a poof just a little poof and a thug thug. And my dad and I both said looking at each other , "That wasn't the cups of water". Just a few moments prior from the elevation change the air in the bottles, I was getting rid of air in them. Then Poof happened and the comment we said that the tire light came the dashboard of my car at the same time. The timing is very important to this story. Mind you when the poof happened there's construction on the Highway that hasn't been finished yet and there's the section of this specific highway where it splits off away from any exits of this said highway. Mind you upon reflecting said memory of the moment I'm think about the movie Speed. If you know , you know why I'm thinking about it. So the next few moments there was an exit D and fifteen minutes left on run flat tires and conveniently without complete google search for the nearest auto zone, there was one about two minutes away. Of course turning into the parking lot of said auto zone the tire was completely flat at the worst location of places with a convertible with minimal light to see. These would the evening of day one at 5:27pm. And one bottle of fix a flat inflator and finding a huge nail in the tire . Of course there was no spare tire and no air pump in the trunk either. This is where the laughing started because we are at auto zone and there's only us in the parking lot and what does on do in this situation. Record a video to capture the memory.

And AAA was called they sent one tow then that tow got rerouted to another situation. More laughing happened then magically another tow truck called and they were on their way. Now come to find out that tow guy was from our little town and his name was Zack. I would say small world timing or is it fate at the same time. Ladies ,don't go thinking it was love story brewing from this story but it's a nice thought through. Also in-between us that would make a great story in the books. On the rest way home was rock music playing on the radio, I couldn't tell you what the titles of the songs. I can just tell you that it made laugh all the way home . Knowing full well I got three dogs and one loud JJ that would love to kill me the second I got home. As you know I survived the situation and they forgive me , kind anyway. Sometimes Fate of things leads to a story of our lives to remember that's what makes life unexpected. And we all have a special book we live every day ,each page is different, so are the chapters.

The lesson here is even if in life things can be shit, (And I said that ) you can be the worst situation physically, emotionally at wrong time, place. Look at the positive side of things no matter what. And always remember too laugh even if in said worst situation. Because you can cry, and yell but laughter will change the situation guarantee will also make others around you to laugh, smile to. One other thing if you need to cry but you are laughing to and there's people around say you aren't sad, just half malfunctioning. Hehe. This what I might of said in a worst untimely of events but it was the truth.

I have a lot of things to catch you all about things, life. Some things will be easy to say, some thing I will never say and some things can be left unsaid on a page or napkin. Give me some time I will catch up on posts. And a little prewarning right now these posts will get longer since I'm falling in love again.. with sharing. I been coming back to me for a long time, sometimes I feel like I should hide that a little longer but at the same time not to hide away. I did promise a story or two coming your way. I just have a tight grip on that one story because it means more to me even though I know it's ready to give out to the world the thing , I don't know what the world would say back is the lingering question of life.

I will se you all soon, that's only handful of you or a stadium of you. You all matter. That's where I leave you and I feel good about leaving at that note.

X's and O's

September The Touch of Fall 2021

September is finally here and the autumn feels are slowly creeping into the scene. The early morning hours have a light chill to start the days and in the evening nights smell of fall approaching in the wind.

Before I get into this months monthly post, I would like acknowledge the people we lost on 9/11. The Fathers, the Mothers, the Sons, Daughters that were taken away all to soon and left feeling their void forever. Each remembrance day still feels fresh and reliving the moment in time over again. On each 9/11 I stay silent, I stay off social media out of respect in the way for them and light a candle. And I also want to pay my respect for the thirteen fallen we lost in Afghanistan last month, they fought , they protected and to left their loved ones lost for words along with the rest of America. The moments that I wished didn't happen in history and may they rest in peace.

Today as I am typing this up September ninth , I have been dragging in energy that I had to make a mini coffee at 2:00 PM. And also on this day as well would mark two years since Samson passing he was one great handful of a German Shepard, I added a new flag to his spot, the flag is very fitting to this personally. And one dog that can't be forgotten nor replaced. He will be forever changing sunlight reflections and taking all the toys for himself. I am sure Mr. Max has been missing him the most. Maverick, Samson's twin is more like him everyday and bossing the other two around. I don't know if that's a good thing or a scary thing , I am left undecided but Maverick makes things interesting everyday. And not leaving Mason out of the post but in short , Mason is just the hunter of the pack while being needy all at once. In short the zoo over here keep everyone and anyone on their toes, Jolly Joe included.

September leading into the fall season which my favorite season to be in but it feels the most heaviest seasons in memories at least and with time it seems less painful and more enjoyable to remember the memories that sweep by each day. I find with each year that I might not remember exact date of a each hard memory but I feel in my heart, in my soul the environment feels off around then the missing piece of a another life comes hitting but with good memories. We may be changing seasons and the in-between stage physically in life, I look at it has," The heart coming home "in a sense; I don't know what else to call it has. I may be the only one feels like this when it comes to beginning of the Autumn.

On the flipside during the beginning of the Fall season, I am the most creative. Thinking of the stories untouched and the stories that haven't been written but are on my heart. Trust me when I say I have notebooks of stories, loose pages begging to be finished. I think of the stories I have written that in the past that hold feelings that I only understand about certain memories. And a little secret to share, I sometimes I go back through the original hand written ones and remember every feeling I had writing them. Even the ones that made assumptions about but no one would really know the details behind them all and they say writers have the most secrets written down in code.

Maybe one day I will Re-release the stories that were most popular and made Person Misread take off originally. Those ones were the ones that I was constantly messaged about. I repeat Maybe I will you never know what could happen..

Switching gears at the beginning of the month, I found myself back at the beach again. I finding it a common occurrence lately but I am not complaining one bit. I ate at a new place called Hennessy's Tavern and it didn't disappoint the reviews were spot on. Most definitely go at happy hour just before the sunset, the pretzel bites were amazing as a starter. I had the burger of the month as my main : Beer Cheese Bavarian and it was yummy, the fries were beyond perfect. And yes I hear you, you choose a Burger out the whole menu; I was craving a burger in the moment. I would go back there for another round of yummy food again. And just the same as the last trip out the beach, the following morning ,I was at the beach passing time with yet another book while listening the ocean waves. The book am currently reading is even better then the last one if you can imagine. The Author had me on the hook by sentence four! And the book is called , The Book Of Lost Names by Kristin Harmel. Can't stop reading it , I only wish I wrote it is all I have to say for now. And also if If I go on about the novel , I will ruin the book review in a heartbeat. To add I didn't make a scene this time in front of the lifeguard station by losing a flip-flop, I stuck to my walking shoes this trip. I think the same lifeguard remembered me but I kept walking focused on not to lose a shoe this time on the pavement nor spilling a drop of my coffee. Overall the trip was successful with lovely beach weather with an amazing sunset witnessed to add in the books.

Now that I let the cat out of the bag so to speak of; you know what's this months book review is, I should close out this post before I let anything else slip my lips that's in the works. So let me say this, times are changing and life can be chaotic at the moment, things can change in a nanosecond. Remember no matter how hard things can be, look at the good memories , the good moments happening, stay alert and be present in reality. Time only goes one way choose how to spend it wisely but don't forget to enjoy it as well. Okay, I will share one more quick thing, This blog has changes coming , new things coming and more. Like the song I should be go to be bed, I should go before I say Anything else to get myself in trouble.

Best Wishes,

Misread
