Tue, 12 Mar 2024 - 358 - Yes, I have sand in the car. So what?
If you live on Cape Cod, you likely have sand in your car. And if you live on Cape Cod and don’t have sand in your car, I might question if you are really living life to its fullest.
Tue, 27 Feb 2024 - 357 - The ballad of Beach 21
I’ve never thought of any beach before as my beach. Maybe that’s because all those other beaches already had names. I thought this beach was nameless, marked only by it’s “Emergency Beach Location 21” sign.

Tue, 30 Jan 2024 - 354 - Looking at the calendar

Tue, 05 Dec 2023 - 350 - Reflecting on seasonal changes
Late Sunday afternoon — it isn’t all that late, but now that it’s dark at 4:30, late is all relative. Landmarks change in the winter light. The boarded-up Surfside snackbar where teenagers spent the summer scooping ice cream haunts the empty parking lot.
