Surf report

Just a short, short update to my earlier story: Amelia and I just came back from a walk around the neighborhood. She got to pet a friendly cat, but was disappointed that she didn't see any dogs.

As I sat here reading my e-mail she started saying, "No, no" followed by "Big water, big water, big water!"

Michael was here and heard her; we both thought it was terribly sweet. According to weather.com there will be ample sunshine again tomorrow and another chance to see the "big water."

And I have to admit that I have always loved the sensation of coming home and rinsing the sand and salt water off my feet. It just feels so natural, somehow. Let's all keep our fingers crossed and hope the family will be moving much much closer to the ocean this summer.

Well, I have to run. There are burgers on the grill, but more importantly Amelia has informed me that I am sitting in the pig's chair and must move...
