Step Lively

I'm trying to even up my stark golfer's tan, so my morning routine of late has been to greet the morning sun with a cup of hot cereal. Finishing the cup can take as many as fifteen minutes (yes, it's that hot), which is about as long as my alabaster exterior can handle safely.

Walking among the palm trees this morning offered some unusual excitement when a large gourd hit the ground a few yards from me. Despite their light weight, the volleyball-sized fruit pack quite a wallop from a height of 50 feet.
