Beach Walk 27 – Enjoy the Rain

There were very dark heavy rains this morning – until Lexi and I decided to go to the beach anyway – when the skies cleared for us for 30 minutes.

About Today’s Show:

It was a good morning to linger in bed and finish reading Life of Pi. But as I actually like the rain, Lexi and I decided to go to the beach any way. We just left the camera at home. Curiously, the rain actually paused for us. I’ve noticed this effect before. If I am willing to go out and face that which appears to be “blocking” or otherwise discouraging me, I find that life changes. Perhaps in response, perhaps a “co-incidence.”

Coincidence. Another word I like. The popular connotation speaks to randomness, but I like the more literal expression: a co-incidence. It feels more intentional. I found this “official” definition at dictionary.com, “A sequence of events that although accidental seems to have been planned or arranged.”

I hope you enjoy the rich full sounds and scenery captured by the secret cameraman.

Note: On the iPod rejecting videos, it’s actually an iTunes thing. A recent iTunes software update started rejecting all videos that were not .m4v. Apple knows about it and said they are working on it. Hopefully they’ll have a fix out quickly. If you right-click on a video and choose “Convert selection for iPod” then it works fine.

Beach Walk 26 – Naked Facts

Spring is just around the corner. Time to start thinking about shedding those heavy winter clothes!

About Today’s Show:

Saucy talk today about a study we heard about from fellow Hawaii podcaster, Todd, over at Geek News Central reporting that a decent percentage of telecommuters (12.5% of men and 7% of women) admit to working naked at home. It’s the kind of information I find fascinating in the aggregate, but when applied to any one person…well then it becomes perhaps TMI. (Too Much Information.) It reminds of the controversy way back when in Dear Abby about people who clean house in the nude.

Being by the water though, is a much more natural place to explore being naked! I think skinny dipping is a grand experience and can be done very privately actually.
