Waking up around 1 p.m.
Cinnamon Raisin Bagel with Cream Cheese. Orange Juice.
With Darren, Devon, James, and Laron. We all hop into my wagon and ride up to Pungo to pick strawberries. Talks in the car about Kevin possibly being an idiot savant and how backyard wrestling increases healthcare costs.
Back at the house. Marianne, our French couch surfer, baked homemade Lasagna for everyone. Enjoying a hefty serving.
Then we drive over to Elliott's house on 16th. It's his birthday and all our friends are gathered in his name. Driveway Party! Hula hoop and pogo stick theatrics. Working on a 6-pack of Michelob Ultra. Carpooling over to Motor World to fulfill one of Elliott's dreams, which is to race go-karts with all his friends. I can't even remember the last time I drove a go-kart. Two races are conducted, a qualifying and the championship. Elliott gets first place in both, which is expected because this is his turf; racing is his love. I manage to get second with Cameron in third for the championship. But it's not about who wins. It's about the experience. Despite the expensive price it was well worth it.
Afterwards, we head back to Elliott's and sit around the back patio drinking and being silly.
It's time for Four Square. We draw out lines with chalk on the boardwalk and engage in a long round of games. Sometimes a few strangers will join in.
Back home. Most everyone dips out. It's just Ana and I. We're both hungry so I cook us a meal: Lentil Wraps with Onions, Peppers, Carrots, Tomatoes, and Kale with Honey Oolong Tea.
Up in my room. Sifting through all the hundreds of photos we took today. Lounging around on the bed – cuddling – massaging – sex.
...
Sharing an after-love snack: a small plate of Strawberries with Danish Pancakes.
Sleep 5 a.m.
