When I was growing up, we had a summer family tradition – no tradition isn’t quite the right word – "ritual" seems more correct. Every (and I mean damn near every) Sunday during the summer, we would pack up the family and head “down the shore”. Specifically, we would drive down and visit...

Come walk with me, up the beach for a little bit. I wanna show you something I found. Let's walk on the wet sand. We'll scare all the crows up, but I don't think they mind really. They are young ones who don't have their own territories yet, so they all hang out together on the beach. The grass is...
Of the 367 miles of coastline belonging to the state of Texas, you would think we have some pretty amazing beaches. Well, we don't. The beaches from the TX/LA border all the way down to Padre Island are pretty substandard. Then there's Padre Island - specifically South Padre Island. This is where...
We had our latest book club meeting on the beach! This is about 5 minutes from where I live, on the shore of the Chesapeake Bay. We all loved this setting so much that we're having the next one here too. I've met a lot of really awesome new friends through the library, and I'm really starting to...

A vacation sounds good at any time of the year, but holidays encompass a great deal more than simply dashing off to a dreamy destination. You have to secure time off work; the kids need to be on break from school and the destination of your choice needs to be inviting in terms of weather - all at...
Picnic--the joyful experience of eating good food in the open air while enjoying the company of friends and family in a relaxed atmosphere--is on the wane in the western world. More of us gather around the barbecue in the back yard. More still don't eat outside at all, or migrate from the inside of...
What is the scariest experience you've had with Mother Nature? Submitted by jacolily. I was three. I remember being at Crystal Lake Beach in Crystal Lake, Illinois. It was dark because a storm was coming. I was standing at the edge of the shore facing the parking lot. My mother was gathering all our...
I eat out an extraordinarily large percentage of the time for someone who no longer has an income. Before you start grinding down on me and declaring me an undisciplined yuppie or idiotic student who just likes to spend money as if it were water, please try to understand that much of it is...
Though I haven't been in love with the hot weather, which has changed to be much cooler this week, Chris and Jonas have loved it. Jonas has had a chance to wear his swim suit, or else just go naked in the backyard. He's getting much more comfortable around water, though wasn't too keen with being in...

They are a responsibility you can't set aside. The idea of sending your pets to kennels or catteries may distress you, especially when you...

I took a walk across the sands on Saturday. It was low tide: the ocean had pulled back her skirts the color of tears; the hem of her frothy petticoats teased and played across a shoreline dappled with footprints. The sand looked coarse and edible, like cooking salt: black, gray, rock, celtic, fleur...
We went to the beach today and as usual had a wonderful time. I don't know what we're going to do in the winter. I really hope we don't revert to our hermit ways... but our house is not the easiest to get to and we all know how much I just love driving in the snow. Anyway, SkyWalker played with...
My average of gigs per week this year is slipping. I was running at a 1.5 per week average. Its down to 1.3 now. This must mean that my fun to work ratio has changed. You would think. OR is it that I have been finding alternative ways to have fun other than by going to see bands.... Last week I did...
