Staring. My new vocation is staring.
It’s not a choice. These glassy thoughts slip through my fingers before I get a chance to put them onto paper. So my beach party is more of a test of wills than a wild celebration, a standoff between me and the unflappable ocean. I’m fairly certain about who wins and what happens in the end. That doesn’t mean I won’t give it my eyeballing all.
