Down in Florida, I have a pretty sweet apartment. I live near base and the beach, in a complex called Countrywood at Blue Angel. My single is comfy, with my big red couch, new tv, and great appliances. I love the gym, which I use daily.
Florida has been nicer than I expected. I love the sun and the humid, long-anticipated rain. With white sands and nice water, the beaches are perfect. I want to get out there soon.
Flying over Mobile, I have rekindled my affection for that city as well. I ran a marathon there in 2005. That run traversed the whole city, through charming neighborhoods, small college campuses in town, and the small downtown area. We get to see lots of that from the air, as well as the beautiful salt marshes to the south along the bay. Forrest Gump's second hometown, Bayou La Batre, is also along our regular route.
I feel pretty settled down here. Good friends, great weather, some fun with running and golf, and a job that's getting more interesting and fun.
