This was one of my favorites. I got a sense of place but, interestingly, I felt like I got a much better sense of you. Maybe it was the beer and karaoke? Maybe it was the inability to get the kind of walking in you usually do? Anyway, good one. I enjoyed it as always.

Seeing those bare benches with ads on them in Jacksonville. I'm reminded of the time I lived in Chicago in the 80's- and benches not already covered with ads often had the suggestion in big letters "Your Ad Here" However, on one bench some wise-ass had written a big 'D' in front of the word 'ad' - "Your Dad Here" and seeing that forlorn bench, open to all the vicissitudes of Chicago weather - with that bold suggestion was funny and poignant.
