the sea was very rough... off the deck
the beach was dead because of overcast skies and huge waves
then the tide started to come in..
and in ...
until there was almost no beach left..
so a lot of people took to the club called The Ocean Mist for drinks and dance (not me of course). This place is pretty popular in Rhode Island, even hosts to Sublime and The John Cafferty Band among others. I haven't been there in a couple years, even tho it is right down the shore from my mother's (I took this pic from her deck).

We had a decent weekend, despite the crazy weather. The ocean was wild, insane in fact and the sun barely showed up twice (and not for long). Fortunately one of my 2nd cousins was down with his kids (who are the same age as mine pretty much) and they formed a brat pack keeping themselves pretty occupied while my parents visited neighbors and I watched TV, trying to ignore the waves hitting the window behind me. It was pretty relaxing, the kids had a blast and that is really all that matters.

Yesterday I taught my son how to use the Video Camera and we headed down the hill to the public beach where he filmed a small clip of me getting soaked by a wave (which damaged my cell phone somehow..it's still not working very well). The night before the surf was so strong that it lifted a huge life guard chair up, carried it a considerable distance and planted it upside down beyond the shoreline. It's a short clip, but a large file. Click below to watch...

Glad you guys had a good time. Glad your relationships with them both are going well.
And even if it wasn't the BEST weekend, hell, it was a weekend at the beach. Right along the beach. And you didn't have to stay in a hotel! Count your blessings, man. :)
HUGS
I really love the determination you show to be "present" to your life and everyone and everything in it. I just think that's so cool.
