My shocking trip to the ocean

Jesus Christ, i'm exhausted, so this entry will be brief, potentially unintelligible, and subject to drastic editing in the days ahead. I just wanted to get the entry under "May 31," though. A family party near the shore turned into a "wanna go to LBI?" query from my brother. So off we went! My first beach trip of the season! A keepsake magnet! Drinkin in TWO old classic haunts! The sand! The water! The memories of yesteryear! It's all a bit too much to take in...especially with little food but 5 or 6 beers and a strawberry daquiri in me. Topping it all off, though, was the TOTAL shocking spontaneousness of it. And i'd wanted to hit the beach weekly all summer long, so this nicely (and barely) met Week #1's requirements. Fantastic. God, I need sleep. *PS -- 43 points in the bar basketball game!
