ahhhh the beach
I came back to jersey just to jump in the ocean. As I broiled in my beach chair (after 6 days of rain) I took a movie of the ocean just to post it here so that when I get to the point of missing the shore again (there's not really anything to jump into here in NOLA but the "muddy mississipi"), I can just plug into my blog here and listen to the rhythm and view the crashing waves.
I found out from Arlette that when we were kids, we'd go to the beach almost every day as a substitute for air conditioning (which essentially didnt exist then) or malls (which fortunately didnt exist then). So I developed a strong magnetic attraction for water - going to college 8 hours from the shore in the mountains of Virginia my freshman year left me longing for the ocean in much the same way having been in New Orleans has.>
