i like mondays. ...the beach tends to be less crowded. today, i had it all to myself-- though i'd rather sarah, number one swim buddy, were here, but she's in seattle putting the finishing touches on a 10x15 foot mosaic mural for kent des moines light rail station. still, i wasn't alone for long. bill's dog barney bounded into my reverie, insisted on fetch so i found a worthy stick and sent him in again and again. then it was my turn so i took a quick second dip, surprised to see barney beelining for me. i kept well away from his flailing claws as we paddled back in together. i called bill, who said he'd be right down with some crab salad. i waited till i heard him and saw his jeep cross the bridge before walking off the spit to meet him at the county park gazebo, where we shared a meal on sunwarmed stone picnic table his brother built 40 years ago. |
