The breeze off the ocean is strong, flapping the green swim flags ang various-colored umbrellas — and when the sun ducks behind a cloud, it's actually chilly.
But the sun is hot and the water snapping withwhite breakers, seagulls (flying rats) circling above hunting for scraps, and the rhythmic whoosh of the waves is like jazz, like the fragile sheen of brushes on cymbals.
My mind is wandering in the sun, lacking focus as I try to read IF Stone and listen to an iPod playlist of new tunes, obscure ones and classic sounds.
