What's the music for this diary entry? A favorite genre: Rock the Yacht Setting sail on a sea of smooth Yacht Rock grooves. It features songs like Michael McDonald's I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near) (1982), Paul Davis's Cool Night (1981), and my beloved King Harvest's Dancing in the Moonlight (1972).

It is more of a theory than an application. Beyond that Power Wheels Bigfoot from Nanny when I was 6 or so, the first vehicle I ever drove with a "steering wheel" was a yacht. I guess it was the summer of '91 out on the Tennessee River. The yacht featured a booth for eating, a galley, and a stateroom below deck. He handed over the helm to this 13-year-old kid.

It was a yacht belonging to a retired friend of my father’s, a gentleman from New Zealand, a mythical, faraway country that's on my bucket list to go. Yes, the home of The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies; the Avatar series; the Chronicles of Narnia trilogy; and Viva La Dirt League of TechTown and Baelin's Route.

There's something about adventure that is so compelling, isn't there?

As to my own quests, I continue to scaffold. I enter day 2 of this sardine fast inspired by Dr. Boz. This time around, passing 72 hours will be a Ryan George "Super Easy, Barely an Inconvenience" (Harry Potter) The way I prepare it makes it look like taco meat and the heat DOMINATES the flavor profile even with the inclusion of mustard.

My workout game is...eh, not overwhelming. I put in two hours of yardwork yesterday morning for the front yard and shortly I'll go to work in the backyard. For now, it is over-complicated on paper.
