it's really not.  it's more like a roller coaster.  :)  with all the ups and downs and quick turns and fast pace...  the last handful of summers have been filled with concerts, events, weddings, making DNA (work), editing photos and bbqs.  all good things, but in new england, the summertime is short.  here and gone before you know it.  and i always miss going to the beach!  i finally had a free weekend and made the best of it.  horseneck beach down in westport, ma.  perfect day!  not a cloud in the sky!  not too crowded!  and...no seaweed!!  woo hoo!  my cousin beth rounded up the troops.  i was the first to hit the sand.  KMD
