On the beach today

Had to take the kids somewhere by the beach, so went for a jog as I wait.

People watching is incredible.

Seeing people who are out of shape clearly trying to get into shape.

Seen parents playing with their kids in the ocean.

I passed the same guy every time I come to the beach.

An older man, with long silver hair wearing American flag shorts.

Every time we pass each other, he gives me the thumbs up and says “awesome!”.

He reminds me of the quintessential Hollywood Vietnam veteran. Enjoying the tranquility and beauty of the beach, contrasted with whatever his life experience was.

Who knows… he could have been a deadhead draft dodger for all I know (and I say that without judgment - I don’t think I would have gone to fight in Vietnam).

And then at the end of my jog, as a reminder of the awesomeness of nature, I captured this:

A. Art of the Day

The mirrored background, the black-and-white flickering images, the flapper girl in the lovely dress, the curved bar, the cocktails waiting, the night beckoning, a past beguiling, a time and place to uncover and discover again, if only in memory’s vault and a photo’s ghosts.

I. THE INTRODUCTION

Just a few tickets left https://www.1776lawcenter.com/

A. Art of the Day

Washington Crossing the Delaware, one of the great portraits of the American revolution, captured the American spirit to this day, more than two centuries after the event and more than a century since Emanuel Leutze’s painting exhibited in 1851. The torrid current, the gusting winds, the eager soldiers furiously rowing against the rising waves, the flag itself against the elements, Washington staring ahead, no turning back. Onward only!

B. Wisdom of the Day

“In all questions of passion, admit reason to govern.” George Washington.
