Biking down the shore
I think this is the last of the shore-vacation ink & watercolors. I was lamenting having to wear a helmet down the shore. Riding bikes at the shore since I was young was about freedom. Now that freedom is tainted because we need to set examples for the kids.
I've had my share of bike accidents through the years and it's mostly been elbows, knees and ribs that have taken the brunt of the road or trail. You never know when your head is next and as long as the kids are young and around I suppose I'll keep wearing one.
There may be a window of opportunity between the kids being grown and the grandkids that I can taste full freedom again.

Sit Up Straight
The right book and the wrong posture can leave you a bit striped.

Not Paying Attention
Waves were coming fast and furious several days last week. Was often caught looking the wrong way.

Beach Chair Hell
For a few years now we've had these beach chairs with high backs that allow me to fall asleep in the chair while reading the book without my head falling over. The Mrs. picked up a couple of new chairs and I tried one of these out on the first day. It's one of those ones that are supposed to allow you to lie flat on your back and snooze away. However, my big head just flopped over the edge and rested on the sand. Every other person seems to use these things with little to no effort but it just doesn't work for me. I kicked my son out of the old reliable chair and went back to business.
