Luckily, I am having a white sand Christmas.
I have, so far, read ‘Gone, Baby, Gone’ and ‘The Last Town on Earth’, a lovely book about a town that quarantined itself during the flu outbreak in 1918. I am (re)starting Anna Karenina, and then I will head towards another pile of serial killer novels. Lots […]
The weather here has been lovely and, other than today, not too hot. The water, too, has been 70 F every day for a week. I know this cannot really be good, but it’s so pleasant and lovely, I can (and do) spend hours in the water — there’s not even a first shock of […]
What with the strong Canadian dollar, I hear more French here than English, by a long shot. It’s just like being home, only on the ocean and with crappy stolen wireless.
The water today was 66. If only the waves hadn’t been atrocious. I’m hoping for at least that warm (balmy! unbelievable!) tomorrow. Veer west, […]
In just a few days I am leaving for Maine. I have been thinking that I ought to start packing. Or maybe just make a list of what I need to pack. Or something. I mean, I can’t pack at the last minute this time, I’ll be *reading*. But I had PMS and bad mood […]
After having dinner, my father and I were walking to the car (so I could go to the bookstore and fill up on my passion for blank books and logic puzzles), and we came to an intersection. The light was against us, but cars were only coming in one direction, so we walked halfway through […]
I finally made it to Boston. And it was a good day to go, as it poured all day here. It poured only a little there, and since it looked like rain was imminent all the time, I was never far from cover.
I got to meet him again, and found out that he lives in […]
Today I spent all but 15 minutes hiding in the shade. Unfortunately, I still am all heatrashy. Tomorrow is a good day to take out of the sun.
Those fifteen minutes were spent, of course, in the water. The waves were huge and wonderful, and the sign said the water was 59, and who could […]
It would have been an ideal day if I hadn’t suddenly developed a canker sore — I haven’t had those in years and years, probably since before puberty. And if someone at some point had mentioned that I was turning red and should reapply the suntan lotion, because I am pinker than I would like. […]
Today was a perfect day. It was sunny, but not too sunny, and the water was incredibly warm.[1] Even better — low tide was around 2:30 today, so the beach is big all day, and we could float down the river. We went to the river a little late, so the current barely flowed, and […]
I am planning to go to Boston, probably Monday July 9 or Tues the 10. I know there are local readers there (I can think of three). Anyone want to meet up? If you don’t want to admit your location in blog, you can email me at wolfangel AT gmail. (I may or may not […]
