Cape II: The Surreal Redux
Yet another trip to the Cape this weekend. Same place, but this time no kids. The first time Tine and I have been without a child present in three years (which was also a trip to the Cape). Had another great weekend with Tine and I'm worried that I'm about to jinx it in some way. Things have been looking up. I hope it continues, because it's actually starting to feel like everything might actually end up being alright.
The weather was excellent again. Warmer, but still cool. Zero clouds. And another full moon at night. Awesome. We stayed in the same place, a house in a neighborhood of rental houses near the beach (I should try to post some pics). But it was just as empty as beforehand. Our big outing this time was a used book store in Chatham. I picked up some new age CD that was playing while we were browsing. It's all this lonely reed and piano. When we got back, I put it on loop and it added to that strange feeling of isolation being in a cluster houses that are all empty. The whole thing took on this unreal quality, especially Sunday morning. It's bright and sunny, yet there doesn't appear to be another human being for miles.

Its times like that that I think the apocalypse has already happened, and I am just dreaming the rest.
Have a Happy Day!
Yeah, then I wake up and realize the sweet dream is over.
*sigh*
