I can’t relate to the idea of cancelling beach plans because of the weather. I never could. To me, rain means finding a corner to read a riveting book. Cloudy skies mean donning sweats and reading The New York Times on the beach. More cloudy skies mean going to an arcade and doing ridiculous things I wouldn’t normally do. And depending on who I’m with, there’s the ever-lively game of Trivial Pursuit.
I missed our family vacation this summer. It would have included all of the above. I long to bring it back.
