the sand between my toes

Those natural needs are so strange, don't you think? Like that natural urge for the sea, that distinct calm that comes with the sound of waves. They feel almost unnatural because of our innability to explain where they're coming from, but really they are some of the most natural desires that I can name. And I'm a-hankering! I've been to the Beach(es)... I'm just going to call it the Beaches, twice in the past week. Lake Ontario is a bit of a poor substitute for the Ocean really, but it fulfills some of those innate needs in the same way. Me and Davey will go down and wander around on the beach or just sit for a few hours and collect beach glass or nice rocks or whatever. It's very calming. And I can't wait for fall!

The area itself is very nice as well, there are a bunch of quaint little restaurants around, and nice little independent coffee shops as well as a handful of corporate ones. Almost everyone seems to be walking some sort of dog... which brings me to my next point of news: New Puppy! She's an adorable little Black Lab puppy, and her name is Willie. And she bit my face and chewed on my shoe, which is a good sign! I have decided that she will be good friends with the cats so that they won't have to descend into their shadow-homes again for another year.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do today. Originally I thought I'd be hanging out with Crimson but I haven't heard from her so I guess that's up. I have to pay the first installment of my tuition and then maybe I'll head down to Front Street or the Distillery? It seems kind of lame to hang out around there by myself, especially without my camera. Oh well, we'll see...
