Seasonal Surf
by Rie Sheridan Rose
Some days are perfect for surfing. You can tell as soon as you hit the beach. The waves are cresting at a reasonable range, and you can taste the salt from the beachfront parking. Days like this are rare in my neck of the woods, but not impossible.
Unfortunately, it looks like the meteorologist made a wrong call. I got all the way down here with my board, and it’s almost smooth as glass. Still, there’s a breeze blowing, and I’m out of the house, so that’s a plus…guess I’ll just hang here a while and see if it picks up any. It’s nice on the water…
***
It never fails. Lay out the hope of a decent surf, and someone will bite. I never know who will answer the call, but I’ll take any bet that someone will. Looks like my pigeon today is a plump little bird, filling out her swimsuit to perfection. Just enough meat on her bones. I’ll just wait here until she gets bored with the water and calls it a day. I can almost taste it now. Roast pigeon with a side of something green—must remember to eat healthy these days. And she looks quite healthy.
