two boca burgers and a walk on the beach.

the soles of my feet are sore from a long walk on the sand today. there were lots of kids playing around and building sandcastles. all the dredging this winter was worth it; there is twice as much beach as last year. the water was freezing so we didn't put more than a toe in.

have you ever been silent with someone so long you forgot you weren't talking? not trying to think of something to say, not feeling uncomfortable, not wondering what the other person is thinking but just being quiet and getting lost in your own world. that, i think, is the sign of a true friendship. when just being around them makes you feel a little better about the world, when they can tell you to face the music, when you can give them a look and say a thousand things. stop knowing me so well!

here's to boca burgers, potato rolls and goat cheese. these are the keys to true intimacy.
