In the late eighties/early nineties, I set up shop in Czechoslovakia. I was quite comfortable and loved my friends, the place, the sheer EXPLOITATION of their innocence...

BUt then I started to go a little haywire. It took me a little while to figure out exactly what the problem was, but eventually I made the connextion that that what the only period of my life when I had lived outside of smelling distance of Salt Water.

I jumped a train to Venice to test my theory, and as soon as I stepped out into that damp salty air, I felt like myself again. Shortly thereafter I returned to the university and thank god i did. I think I only have one or two of the whole gang back then still living.

it's true. there's no beating that smell,taste,feel... once you've got it, you know it. i'm from toronto, used to water, but pretty much land locked. once i got a taste for the coast, well, i cannot deny it's pull.

victoria can still suck my ass though. :)
