Didn't sleep much again and couldn't concentrate on going over my presentation so I walked down to the ocean and went for run along the sand. Pelicans, humming birds, surfers and someone snorkeling in the harbour being investigated by about 5 curious seals. I dipped my hand in the Pacific and tasted the salt and looked across a thousand miles of water.

Thanks to Russ and Ev for the pronunciation |
I came back to the hotel and got a Facebook message to say that a colleague who had been ill for a number of years had died at the weekend. We had a lot good chats about science fiction and the meaning of life. He will be missed.
P.S.
For a more cultured title than the quote from "Madagascar" I thought of this from "Snow" by Louis MacNeice
World is crazier and more of it than we think,
Incorrigibly plural. I peel and portion
A tangerine and spit the pips and feel
The drunkenness of things being various.
