I like long road trips. I like driving for a long time and seeing a lot of things on the way to somewhere interesting that I've either never been to before or went to, loved, and get to go again. 

I do not know exactly what is going on with me lately, but in a move that goes against everything I was raised to believe was right and good and wholesome, I am finding myself more and more inclined to get up early in the morning. 

I managed to visit Havana before the rules changed (again). I'm glad I did. I've experienced island life before (lived in the Florida Keys) and I spent years in a soul-crushing dictatorship (Roosevelt Jr. High Class of 1988), but combining the two was a new experience. 

I am writing this on a computer.

This is normal.
