calvin.jpgI was born into a large Southern family, fueled with cheese grits and dramatic stories of adventure and love: A great grandfather who ran white lightning, a grandmother who put passion before all else and a cousin with a proven strong right hook.
 
I have been feeling my own restlessness welling up lately.
 
I posted on Facebook a question, "Chrissy Clary is ready for a new adventure. Any suggestions?" After a quiet summer day watching the hummingbirds fly, and wondering if I should follow their lead, I was looking to the masses for help. But it was a small voice that grounded me.

He is a bossy 4-year-old who encourages my stability. Almost as if he can tell when I need it most, he quiets my longing with simple requests for time and attention.

We bond over Lincoln Logs and Legos. He inspires my creativity as he encourages me to paint for him. He touches my restless spirit and, unbeknownst to him, quiets it.

Looking into his big blue eyes I am reminded that all I need I have close by, that no longer do I need to succumb to the genetic predisposition causing me to constantly search.

I can leave the high-stake drama and adventure to the others, and I can derive joy from a new type of adventure, one driven more by teaching and learning and less by reckless escapism.

About Me: Chrissy Clary, Editor

    chrissymug.jpgI'm a mother, a hopeless romantic, an artist, a veteran and a Floridian.

I only go to the beach at night when the sand is cool and the moon is bright. I learned to scuba dive at twelve. I have an addiction to adrenaline and I know every word to the theme song from Mr. Ed.

I have been tasked with the development and implementation of a Web site. This Web site. Three8six.com has been developed to inform and entertain. As you can see from our "meet us" profiles we are a merry motley crew. Surfers and hippies, story tellers and artists -- we are all different and all the same.

We are locals in a tourism town hanging out on beach street, chilling down in New Smyrna Beach, surfing the Flagler pier, rooting for the Cubs or relaxing in a DeLand café.

It is our intention that through the use of technology and social networking we can better inform our readers and users about the interesting, the fun and the slightly odd.

We want to know about you...

Tell us what you see, what you like and what tastes good. Meet up with us on Myspace or Facebook or at a good pub on a Friday night.

We look forward to telling your story.
