Asbury Park

Just a random beach bum catching a few Zs — I'm being nice by not posting pictures of sleepy Sue (but I won't be so charitable next time).

Ahhhhh the beach.....What more can be said? I'll I have to say is that it was EXTREMELY hard to go to work this morning. I wanted to crawl back into to bed and call in sick so I could spend one more lazy day at the beach.

I had a wonderful time hanging out with Sue, Mark, Liam, Melinda, Aine and little Caera. The whole weekend was full of good times; Aine made me realize how much negotiating my parents must of had to do with me when I was three, especially when it comes to bringing jellyfish home from the beach (don't worry, they weren't alive); Melinda and Liam were kind enough to let me crash their evenings of Harry Potter and a walk to downtown Asbury Park where Latin music was playing on the sidewalk; Sue and I were periodically left at the picnic table to entertain ourselves and Mark would disappear to play golf and would find his way back to us somehow (just as long as he didn't have to eat vegetables). There were no schedules involved with the weekend, which makes for a wonderful relaxing environment. Now all I want to do is take the next few weeks off and stay there — too bad I can't get credit for that.
