So I have started to realize that my "tape delay" nature may be personality vs. geography based...as I can't really make those "Oh, I live in California" excuses anymore!
Yesterday was Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year, and it was a true New York summer day - blue skies, lots of sunshine, and plenty of heat!
Summer Solstice is also "International Surfing Day" so when living in San Clemente used to spend the day at the beach, listening to someone strum a guitar, watching the surfers and the endless waves before the sun would eventually slip past the horizon.
In California, once the sun sets, the heat drains from the air and even in the middle of June, there would often be a beach bonfire or fire pit to warm us all.
Yesterday had a more East Coast celebration, enjoying Lobster Rolls at an outdoor cafe with a friend visiting from San Francisco, humidity still hanging in the air long into the evening. "Warm evenings" are something I am enjoying again.
I haven't had a lot of QT with the Atlantic yet, but even on another coast, the meditative quality of watching boats, the river current and feeling the Harbor breeze conjures up the sweetness of summer.
Enjoy everyone!
