Beach...With Champagne

The beach used to be a really serene place to sit back, relax and cool off.

Not anymore! Now it seems to be full of more stress than there are grains of sand on the beach (It's a stretch, I get it)

First, there is that annoying thing called skin cancer. So, we lather up in sticky, greasy lotion every 30 minutes, which is great to do, by the way, just before you lie down by millions of grains of sand. Next there is the heat. It's called Global Warming people. So now, not only are you not cooling down, you are soaking wet. Is that sweat or am I literally melting? But then there's the ocean water to jump in, right? I'm sorry but are you seriously even considering touching that cess pool filling up daily with trash and toxins. Don't get me started on the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

So, how do we get past the fact that we're killing the earth one beach at a time? You don’t. You do something about it. Be Vocal. Volenteer. Hell, throw money at the problem. Whatever works for you. But in the meantime, nothing helps you forget about your problems more than a big, full glass of champagne. In this case, you may need the whole bottle. Now sit back and enjoy what is left of our great beaches...and don’t look now but I think the Men’s surf team has just arrived.
