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. permalink
