Having retired on January 1, 2011, I decided that I wanted to spend as much time on Long Beach Island as humanly possible this summer. Originally I was looking for a full season rental but in the end I decided to share a house with my friends Todd and Michele for the week of July 16 – 23 when a whole bunch of other friends would be nearby. From July 23 until Labor Day, I shared a house with my love, Liz. This blog is to document what we did for most of our time there.

Landshark!
We got out on the beach a bit earlier since Todd & Michele had to leave around 3:30 to attend their family graduation party. The surf fisher guy caught another shark. Everyone nearby on the beach watched him bring it in.
After the BG's left the beach I walked to Wawa to get a sandwich. Took about an hour nap and woke up to overcast skies. We were too close to people on the beach and I could hear their annoying conversations regarding politics.
We left the beach around 6pm. Showered and made G&T's. I got the coals going because it was starting to rain. Cooked some great burgers and dogs. We were both stuffed.
Todd & Michele returned and we just hung around and drank some wine. Rain would spritz and stop. I went out on the deck and played the guitar. Todd went to bed early. Liz and Michele worked on a jigsaw puzzle drinking wine.
Michele called it a night about 11:45. Liz talked me into going to Buckalew's to see Jody Joseph band. She sounded good but the keyboardist's vocals were bad and very loud. We had a drink, came home and went to bed.
