Debra! Love this piece and its winding road of getting to the serious part late, but truly and lightly and seriously all at once. If Ben's move to Brooklyn means you might find yourself in our lovely borough anytime soon, please give a holler. We'd love to see you. And we're both "freelancing" now, so we have plenty of time :)
You've captured perfectly the magic of a delicious day at the beach. And included one of my all-time favorite photos (and I don't mean Mrs. Perfect Abs).
I should have asked your permission before including that last shot - and I didn't realize you referred to yourself in the third person, but I guess you've earned it, Mrs. Perfect Abs.
Perfecto. You captured something I didn't even know I felt. I live in a family of slow leavers, and more than half my friends are even slower leavers. As far as the kids leaving (sheesh in the same city), don't worry Debra, you're gonna make it after all. And by the way, I read Demon Copperhead a few months ago, and I didn't want it to end as well.
Oh, we have so much to discuss (Demon-wise - I could talk about that book all day.). And as for slow-leavers... it's funny they get me so cranky at the beach, because I'm not exactly the fastest Leaver on the planet.
Reading on the beach may be the #1 spot. (The only downside for me is trying to set up the umbrella without it flying away and impaling someone.) We were recently in Ocean Grove for a week and also discovered the joys of reading on a front porch.

oh, how lovely, Ali! I'll let you know when I'm lurking in your borough - it would be great to see you both. xx

I love how you turned a simple moment at the beach into a pearl.
Wow - thank you, Luis!
Shark! (Sorry)
hahaha
This one really got me. Ouch. Beautiful. Killed me.
Oh, my friend - the only way I'd ever want to kill you is by touching you. I hope I didn't touch too much of a nerve. xx

Oh, yes! Beach and front-porch reading have spoiled me for anything else.
