8:PM Thursday January 2nd 1992
I am back at home now. A lot happened at the beach house. I was
most pleased with my outgoingness and the fact that I learned
every single name there. Some cool things that I want to remember:
Mike had a HUGE jam box. It truthfully reminded me of a space
craft.
Danny gave us $70 to purchase fireworks. We went to the stand
and just kept on getting stuff. "How much is it now?" we would ask.
"$40" "Ok. let's get some more" At the end our total was $71.30. The
girl said, "The total is 71.30." I said, "Shoot - we've only got 70
dollars." She said, "well, that's okay.. I'll cover the
dollar-thirty." Cool. There was also a dog named Chopper there. So
in the "Special thanks go to" section of the Smelg album, we'll put
"Special thanks to Chopper, and the chick who spotted us a
dollar-thirty on a seventy dollar purchase of explosives."
The ground between the beach and house was loaded with cockle
burrs. The first couple of times that I went across, I wore shoes.
Then I walked barefoot across them. The last several times, though, I
would yell "Yaaaaagghhhh!!" and run across them at top speed.
It was so hilarious when I'd hear behind me, "Wait, Rob, ther's
cockleburrs there!" I would yell back, "It's Ok!!" and continue
running. Each time I did that, I'd end up with about 10 of them in my
feet.
The last day, Mike, Bryan (Devin's brother) and I played
frisbee for a whle and then played tag with the two young cousins of
Devin & Bryan, Adam & Genie. I drew a 20 by 20 foot boundary and we
played freeze tag for a while. Then the grils got back from walking
and played as well. That was so fun. After that, we dug a sand
castle. It was mostly Sarah and I who did it. We dug a hole in the
center and built walls around it and then used the water for drippy
sand structures around the whole wall. It was very nice.
We watched some Tiny Toons, I had never seen them before, but I can
see why Maggie has 8 or 16 hours worth of Tiny Toons recorded. At the
end it was almost Rally quality goodbyes & stuff. We all had a
fantastic time and vowed to do it again.
We stopped at Adam's house and I got to meet his lovely sister,
Wendy. She had her hair slicked back with conditioner. It looked so
good. We played on Adam's computers and he gave me a copy of
Lemmings. I was invited to spend the night there, but I wanted to see
Tammy, so I had them bring me home.
