Letting it all hang out

Wednesday, March 12. Hi again from the FL. Weather's the same as yesterday, warm but not quite vacation feeling warm. Got up later today and listened to a presentation on a time share. Somewhat interesting and they gave me $125 off my hotel bill, so definitely worth it! Spent the rest of the day just lounging on the beach before heading off to Naples for a nice dinner. But the beach is where today's adventure was.

Before coming down, I bought a speedo bathing suit. Nothing crazy...not a true ball bag, but pretty showy nonetheless. And today's new thing was to hang out at the beach in a speedo, definitely something I've never done. And you know, I just have to laugh because after a while, I didn't care (I really looked all right). And I realized that I became the guy that I would always make fun of at the beach. You know, the guy in the speedo.

So that either means I'm getting older or getting braver. Or both. But today I stretched myself a little more and got over the self-consciousness. Is there really anything to be ashamed of? It's amazing what happens when you can learn to laugh at something instead of make it dramatic. Life becomes much more enjoyable!

Cheers to all and have a good night or day, wherever you may be. Later gators.

P.S. I was going to post a picture of me in the speedo, but I refrained, and some of you may thank me for that at some point!

I ain't that much of a hero! We'll see man...it was enough for me to actually wear it out in public...showing to you all might be even more embarrassing...we'll see. maybe!
