Ice Cream At The Pier
Dear Peter, Every detail of your face was breath-taking in the dying light. I know it sounds cheesy, but how else am I supposed to describe it? You're the wordsmith, not me. I'm just the dumb jock who comes down every year for his summer vacation to...
Good Friends

Neglected Needs

Treble threat

Learning to Swim
A perfect ribbon of sand stretches out to left and right. It's clean, so clean and white it almost hurts to look at in the summer sun. Thats why I have my sunglasses on, of course, and a hat. And my flip-flops; as much as I hate them, I hate burnt paws...
