To the Beach!
The forecast was for clouds. What met me was rain. Not hard but enough to send me running back upstairs, three flights, to swap my sunglasses for an umbrella.
The rain stopped as soon as I came out the door. The sun blazed. I didn't turn around. I'm going. Whatever comes. To the beach! I went.
Two types grab my heart. Remote and untouched or covered in tat. I know which I want today.

They say scents stay in the memory longest and it's true. Despite years living away from that seacoast town, I still recall the tides that perfumed the air. Glad you liked the quote from my memoir, Charles.
