Well, I don’t know what to write about today. It was blazingly hot on the beach, I’m not sure if the picture shows how hot or not. Today was my first swim of the season. I mean it was my first swim in the big lake. I took an unplanned swim in Houghton Lake a week or so ago because I couldn’t find a shallow enough spot to *gracefully* exit my kayak. I’m sunbaked and sandblasted. It reminds me of the days when the kids were little and we’d all sit in front of Don and Katie’s cabin and it would get to be about 5 or 5:30 and the conversation would get really degenerative. Somebody would ask, “What time is it?” And somebody else would ask, “Well, where is the sun?” And I would stand up and grab my beach chair and reply, “Over the yardarm!” And walk back down the beach toward home, with my cute little tow-headed beach urchins trailing along behind.
