Ok, I'll bore: swimming, surfing, boating, hiking, eating great food, drinking cervezas and margaritas, playing music, dancing, writing and, and, and...
It is extremely hard to grade student term papers these days - or prepare lectures for my four classes - when what I really want to do is practice the ukulele, draw plans for developing the Arroyo Seco lots and develop my new website, called The Backpack Journalist.
That website isn't ready for prime time. But if you are reading this, you will be the first to know when it is.
But when I was looking around at some Mexico photos, I found this one, taken by someone in the last year or so in La Manzanilla.
Pulling the tail of the croc
What the gentlemen with the double-digit IQ doesn't know, is that the crocodile can turn around faster than he can stand up - and can also run faster than he can for probably 30 or 40 yards.
Plenty of time to make the double-digit IQ tourist into a snack. Ok, maybe a full meal. I don't know how much a full-grown croc eats, but I bet the croc in this photo would be willing to share with the hundreds of other crocs in the lagoon.
I understand that the croc lagoon overflowed out into the bay in front of La Manzanilla quite dramatically this summer with the heavy rainfalls, possibly sending more than a few lagoon residents - like the one with the tail above - out for a swim into the ocean.
Anyone ready to go surfing?

What was that idiot thinking! The lagoon has receeded just a bit but the road around is still pretty soft. The really big crocs were up by the viewing area a about 5 weeks ago...really BIG ones.
