Drink'n and Cuss'n

On the last night of our vacation I can't sleep. Christa flies home tomorrow morning at 530 and I'm off to South Carolina and New York this week. In all honesty it was hard to stay focused on relaxing with all the crap going on in the 'real' world.



While on vacation we met John Gaskill. He is 93 years old, a WW2 Vet and his father was the last full-time care taker of this lighthouse in the Outer Banks, NC.

John is one cool guy. His stories are too many to tell here, but he wrote an autobiography which I hope to read real soon.



While taking the above picture he said, "I like getting me picture taken with young ladies like you. It's when I get my hugs."

Another quote from him:
"People often ask me how I've lived this long and I tell them there are two reasons. Drink'n and cuss'n."

To which my wife replied while pointing her finger at me, "Well that's great. That means this one is going to live a long time."

John was one of the great memories we will have while vacationing in the OBX, NC.
