Do I have the attention span of a gnat? Or the roving curiosity of an international explorer? Or something in between, based on the day of the week or the time of day? Case in point. I started reading John Steinbeck's: Travels With Charley. This is what happened: A few pages in, he refers to Sag Harbor. So I jump on Google maps and discover it's a community on Long Island; part of the Hampton's. Now I am aware that the Hampton's are an expensive place to live (maybe not so in the early sixties when the book was written). So now I check real estate listings for Sag Harbor, dreaming of living next to the beach in that Long Island community. But now I'm thinking "Isn't there a Long Island in the Bahamas?" And that reminds me of my bucket list: my long term desire to vacation on St. Lucia. So I check out accommodations on that island. Now my Kindle has gone to sleep. And it's time for lunch. Back to Steinbeck and Charley later.
