Nice to Visit Hotel Amagansett & Stay at My Cousin's Place for a Few Days of Rest & Relaxation. The Mental Retreat is Worth the Trip

Yes, it's overcast and the rain is constantly a possibility. The air is cold and getting chilled is a bid odd for May. But staying at Mark's with his decades of living between two continents makes for a home with many interesting corners. Artifacts exist everywhere and every room is a museum of story. 

I'm writing as he and Chitunga are talking global politics over a cup of coffee. The two dogs didn't stop playing yesterday and so, this morning, they are quite wiped out. When I say they played, I mean they PLAYED: ran, pulled ropes, wrestled, boxed, sprinted, rolled around, and tagged one another all day long. We had to separate them at night so they'd stop playing and settle into rest (which they did very well). 

I also spotted a Bouillabaisse special at a restaurant down the street, so treated us to a great meal last night, where we ate muscles, shrimp, and fish in an incredible spicy soup. Delicious. 

This morning, once we get going, I believe it will be a day of art museums, hikes, and simply flowing with the day. I also think Chitunga will go to the Y for a workout with Uncle Milford (to make sure he doesn't fall of the treadmill again). 

Knicks looked better last night than they've looked in the other matches with Indiana. Will see if they can turn. I want to finish a book and go for a long walk with Karal. 

It may be gray, but we're making the best of it.
