Great Pond, Dinnertime Dip

About to take a swim if it's not too cold. Just stopped at library to sit outside and use free WiFi zone to check work emails. Have to work tonight and that's got me down a little. But then I remember what H.'s friend Fay said the other night when we met her and her husband, Howard, for dinner at Pearl in Wellfleet. We sat outside overlooking the harbor at sunset, eating clam chowder, tuna, scallops, oysters, bass. Fay got up early and worked a few hours every morning from the Cape--the publication she edits for comes out every other week and has a small staff, so she had to. But still, I was on the Cape, she said, and then I had the rest of the day. True, true.

Later.
