Diving for clams, relaxing to the surf, beaching

Today was a red letter day.
I picked up a grinder and some Italian delicacies early this a.m. and then went diving and got 20 pounds of clams (we were getting short). Then I went to the Weekapaug Point overlook and ate the grinder and listened to the surf, and La Boheme (on the truck radio) while sitting in my pickup. Then, I went to the beach (ocean front) opposite the Weekapaug Yacht Club and played tourist/vacationer with a folding chair and Profiles in Courage by JFK that I just started. I spent about 5 hours on the beach and even went swimming in the ocean. Super day. All last winter I dreamt about spending a day exactly as I did today. Tomorrow, Saturday, the beach will be crowded. I'll wait til Monday and do it again- weather permitting.
If you haven't read Profiles - it's not too late to get started. I sometimes get my reading list by doing a google search on Pulitizer. I'm not sure if Profiles made the list.

The point of this post is: Don't wait to do what you dream about. Do it while you can.

Character, and pix of Weekapaug

Yesterday I indulged myself by doing something I dreamed about all last winter while we were in Texas - I went to my favorite area, Weekapaug, and took some pix of the ocean and the general area and I also sat and listened to the surf and some great music on the truck's radio, and I ate a grinder. I also started a new (for me) book, Profiles in Courage by JFK. One of the phrases at the beginning of the book caught my attention: Courage is a diamond with many facets. I believe that this is also true of Character. IMHO this book should be mandatory reading for every american, especially young children just getting started in life.
