As I read its pages, I found myself nodding my head, saying yes, yes, fuck yes to almost everything she wrote about. To my closest friends I will apologize for bringing up Diane Cardwell’s remarkable book Rockaway-Surfing Headlong Into A New Life, which I read recently. Not of the sexual kind, but the of the life kind. Perhaps that was what I needed all along, but it is not the happy place I envisioned it might be after a year unemployed.īut then it came to me as I sat down to write this musing.
