my last day here this weekend and the skies have parted to reveal a lovely burst of sunshine. here i am sitting out on the deck before we head down to the harbor to sell more tickets for the fire island dance festival.

there was a crazy storm last night (see the pics from the previous post) and i grilled some awesome chicken with some fig marinade from the stop n’ shop in sayville. the drunkies ate it up - literally.

i have to go put on some sunblock now as i’m a pale boy.

it was a great weekend, but i can’t wait til the end of june when i’m out here practically all by myself. there’s something really calming about his atmosphere - being in the bosom of nature. i’m an ocean boy. i’ve always been. (thanks mom for throwing me into the sea early). this environment makes me feel good. even though the sun and my skin don’t get along.

yesterday, when it was overcast, i sang the sun song that i learned at growing garden nursery school. goes like this :

o, mr. sun, sun, mr. golden sun
won’t you please shine down on me.
o, mr. sun, sun, mr. golden sun
hiding behind a tree.
these little children are asking you
won’t you come out so we can play with you.
o, mr. sun, sun, mr. golden sun
won’t you please shine down on me.

…

it worked.
