The first nice day we get this year, I’m going to head to Ocean City for some sun, sand, and ice cream sodas. One of my best friends said that is a long drive for a day trip. It’s a little less than 3 hours each way so it’s no big deal for me.

Hell, I used to spend a minimum of 2 1/2 hours a day, getting back and forth from work on a good day. Plus, I love to drive that car with the top down. And if I get tired on the way home, I have some old friends in Easton that I could stop and see and recharge if needed. For me, not the car. You won’t catch me driving an EV.

This cold weather leaves me depressed. The beach draws me like a magnet and always has. I love photographing there and have a big series of images on one of my basement walls. I don’t mind going in the offseason at all but I want it to be comfortable enough to be outside. And that day looks to be a while off.

Actually, the first trip will probably be with my better half. We do need to get away for a day or two soon. The next two weeks are just too cold to be out at the ocean. And we are pretty busy anyway. Maybe the next month or two. Better yet a destination closer near by with some indoor activities.

• I love sports. I get wrapped up in my favorite teams. I also remind myself it’s just a game.
• Two local teams in the NFL playoffs, NICE.
• Don’t think, DO
