(no subject)

I took Friday off and headed for Falmouth for a long weekend, and that was exactly what I got. Highlights included barbecued pork chops, a highly unprintable running joke about chipmunks, an unexpected golden retriever (my uncle is dog-sitting), my annual sunburn which is entirely my own damn fault, a hermit crab big enough to be living in a 2 1/2" long whelk shell (you haven't been glared at until you've been glared at by a hermit crab that size), ankle-deep water on the sandbar at low tide, one vertebra from what we think was a fish and must have been a fairly large fish if so, a collection of family photos from the early 1900s involving some highly impressive male facial hair, a very vividly purple sunset on Saturday night, an unsuccessful attempt to reattach a tooth to an upper denture, and a lot of general hanging around and being on vacation. Good stuff.
