the rain, the beach

Rain, it feels good. All right, we’ll do rain today. Those people on vacation at the beach need to have a Scrabble game going, or find a few great movies to watch, or get a party going and have people bring whatever they want. Nothing else said, anything they want to bring is fine-a couple gallons of ice cream, a dvd, a game, lots of music, a plan, etc. Or today can be a carefree day at the beach, walking solo without an umbrella, getting soaking wet, feeling the natural surroundings.

Ah, the beach. There are people who have striking year-round tans and a love affair with the sun and beach almost since they were born. I love the sun, but in a different way. For me sitting on the sand facing the ocean on a very hot day has to be early in the morning or after 3:00pm, otherwise it’s pure torture. I’ve never been able to understand the joy of baking in the hot sun, dripping sweat, oily sticky body, sand on oily skin on a sweltering day. Hmm, what fun! Once I was at a beach in Panama, and after 5 minutes turned beet red. Oh, yes, it was intense. I know that if a sun worshipper were writing this this paragraph would be entirely different.

Have a wonderful day. Enjoy it with or without your umbrella.
