I’m back, not that you noticed I was missing

I’m back after spending a week in seclusion.  Not Hollywood seclusion where people have to climb trees to take pictures of your nips, just the most seclusion my tax bracket allowed.  Specifically, Hilton Head, SC.  It’s a pretty interesting place once you realize that back in the 50’s a man had a dream to take an entire island and hide it in plain site.  Today, that man’s dream has come true.  Don’t believe me?  I challenge you to find anything on that island without a GPS.  All buildings are hidden in the woods.  All the signs are low to the ground and look exactly alike.  All the communities are gated.  In 14 miles of beach front property we never saw a single public beach access… or minority without an apron.

I can’t completely shit on the island.  It was a very peaceful vacation that I think I enjoyed mainly due to the fact that I was able to just spend some quiet time with my family.  Kerry White thinks I just enjoyed being somewhere it was safe to drunkenly neglect my children.  Ask my wife if you want a tie breaker vote.  Either way I intentionally visited this place full of those that think differently than I so to pay them back I thought I’d provide them with a free design for a t-shirt they can sell next year to compete with Myrtle Beach’s bike week.
