Badeye, there's a small resort town just a stone's throw from my house. Oneida Lake is right here, so I take the kids down to the beach quite often. It's not the same as the Ocean as it's fresh water, but it is a beach all the same Sometimes we go and the kids play, sometimes I bring my guitar. Usually we only go for a couple hours though, not all day.
I miss the days of going out on the boat and jumping off the back and just swimming in that cool deep water. I wouldn't mind an Ocean front beach to find pretty shells and random hermit crabs and such either. Our beach just has random bits of broken glass and sea gulls that will steal your belongings if you leave them on the blanket while you take a quick dip in the water
Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.
