Me, I'm not crazy about the beach.
Going in the waves, totally fun for a little bit, but like all day.
And like many people over 40,
I have no desire to ever be seen in a bathing suit by anyone ever for the rest of my life.
But you know where I'm heading just hours from now after I leave the studio today?
The beach for a week.
And why?
Because it's summer.
Hating the beach during summer,
and I believe I can say this with authority from personal experience,
hating the beach in summer is like being a Jew at Christmas.
You can try to sit it out, but it's just too big.
At some point, you're going to drink some eggnog.
And you know what?
When I go to the beach, I try, I really try to get into it, to have a nice time.
to appreciate the waves and the sand and the heat.
And I think about how many hundreds and thousands of years that families have brought their kids to the water's edge to play pretty much exactly the same dumb way that we play in the sand and waves today.
How many ways are there to do that anyway?
It's just nice to be part of something that's been happening forever.
And, you know, some people really love it so much.
