I am having a great time visiting JB in sunny Southern California. We walked the beach in Venice, found the central canal, sampled an In and Out Burger and enjoyed the Hotel del Coronado.

Age-related brain waves or Twilight Zone

Planning my last minute errands and trip preparations as I purchased my morning coffee, I experienced a moment of pre-trip jitters. Why am I sailing now? How will all my volunteer activities fare without me? Is it a good time to be gone from family? Etc! I said a farewell to the friendly staff at Starbucks and headed to the post office in a reflective mind-set. As I approached the door, I heard wonderful Indian music being piped over a sound system. Wow, I thought, I love this music. My mood lifted. I got in the Semester at Sea frame of mind. Music like this is representative of the SAS experience. I thanked the clerk for the wonderful music and told her to thank whomever was playing this particular tune. I walked out of the PO and the music was still playing. I was ready to sail!

On entering my car, when the music was still on, I realized my ITunes on my phone had independently picked this tune to broadcast Loud and Live. A message from above? Do de do do do de do do ( twilight zone music). Or simply a technical glitch?

Whatever...ready to go!
