I bet we all have those things which draw us like a magnet that we probably should avoid. We say discipline discipline and so often it does us no good at all. I had one of those days. I thought I was going to finish in Taunton in time to make one or two stops on my way to the cape, but the timetable was off. I did however have to pass multiple locations that sold fried clams. I have been trying to eat healthy for months and doing a pretty good job. I did not make it by them all. They were so good. Made me almost want to move back north, just kidding Myrtle Beach friends. It is interesting those things which we miss in life. Certain smells like low tide in the north, or just the salt air as you arrive about eight miles from the ocean up here. The ocean doesn't have that salt smell in Myrtle Beach. I'm glad I came for this visit in New England, it doesn't change my joy of living in MB but I do miss some things. What makes it hard is the recognition that I can return to many things I miss from time to time and re-experience them for real, but not the most important things I miss. I know I would get to forgetting about the smells and foods and other things from my life up here in time, and I pray the same will happen for certain kinds of missing Marsha. I know I can't go back, life doesn't work that way, but if wishes were granted I find the first star or the falling star or the four leaf clover or whatever else could make it happen. I guess I just have to settle for fried clams.
