Fear, Gear, Friend of the Year - and, I'm here!

OK peeps. I spent an hour at the Atlanta airport crafting a masterful blog post on a pay-by the minute second generation Eniac computer. It posted the title, but deleted everything else. You'll have to believe me that it was quite the post: funny, insightful, rivetting even. But now it's gone. Into the ether.

Hightlights included:
- FEAR: For some reason detaching from all the major sources of security in my life is causing me to feel fear. Go figure. I'm facing this fear like a brave jedi warrior. And sometimes I just shake.
- GEAR: Speaking of Jedi's, I was one when I shopped Friday. Scores included an arcteryx shell (!), an i-shuffle (my first i-product! ONE GIG people!), and diarehea pills
- FRIEND OF THE YEAR: I love you all, and the winner is...Maeanna Glenn, for sleeping over my house and driving me 50 minutes to the airport at 3:30am. Damn.

And now, I'm here, in Costa Rica! Spending a few minutes while a sweet gorgeous woman books me 3 nights in one of the world's most wild national parks. Oooh!

Last night I was picked up at San Jose airport by a friend of a friend, who drove me around, fed me, and was just all around awesome. I gave him a bottle of Johnie Walker Black Label, one of his fav's. He housed me in his small guest bedroom. It was awesome.

Then a short prop plane flight to where I am now: the hot, humid, very green Osa peninsula. Lunch in town, purchasing a block of ice (for the fridge - new electricity where I'm going!) and some food supplies. It is soooo chill here.

So much more to say, and you'll here it in a week or two. I'm off to my seculuded house on the beach, surrounded by monkeys and birds and jungle and friendly snakes.

Here we go!!!

Love,
Roni
