I am writing this from the beach on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, avoiding the heavy pre-Labor Day beach mobs that populated this beach last week. So, write a blog post? Are you kidding?
The weather is perfect with a high temperature of only 85 degrees and perfect surf. The sunrise this morning was magnificent and we were up well before sunrise to watch it all. We expect the same weather tomorrow.
There are a lot of “older” people here now. Most are not in the best of physical shape and they show it well. I’m being very polite. Others seem to be a lot more physically functional, walking and moving around on the beach and even in the water. We see a few younger folks running up and down the beach, but most of the younger genre are back home dealing with their kids first days of school.
Edie and I are practicing what I preach. We are beach walking over a half hour, twice a day, drinking plenty of water, and staying in the sun only in the morning and later afternoon. We spend the middle of the days being tourists. There is a floor in our hotel room— imagine that. So I get down on it and do a few simple planks and crunches and the like. I also brought some stretch bands which I have yet to use — maybe tomorrow.
Home before the weekend. Why so early? I have my 60th High School Reunion this weekend. What’s that? 60th? Yes, that’s sixtieth! And it seems like only yesterday — well maybe the day before yesterday.
Anyhow, no big long blog post today. You can click here if you want to read this again. But that’s it. No real article today. Until next Tuesday . . .
Thank you for reading.
