A short history of today

Breakfast:  1 Lemon Zest Luna Bar, half a Nutz Over Chocolate Luna Bar.  

Location:  Front seat of speeding car, Route 128 north. 

  

Note:  In future, to avoid roller coaster stomach, do not eat Luna Bars right before engaging in strenuous activity, like rowing tiny plastic boat over rolling ocean for several hours.  

Lunch:  One boiled lobster, one raw oyster, two stuffed clams. 

Location:  Take-out restaurant, overlooking Motif #1 and lots of calm harbor. 

Note: Tearing apart lobster tail meat with your bare hands is savagely messy but satisfying too, and necessary at this particular restaurant because they don’t give you utensils.  

Dinner:  One cigar-sized pretzel dipped in white chocolate and sprinkled with jimmies; one nonpareil frisbee, 3,000 pieces saltwater taffy – vanilla, chocolate, chocolate raspberry, molasses, and one despicable peanut butter.  

Location: Front seat of slow-moving car, Route 1A south.  

Note:  Saltwater taffy is not dinner food, but who cares?  

Dessert:  One apologetic cup tomato soup, like that’s really going to atone for eating half a candy store.  

Location: Not in a vehicle, speeding or otherwise. Not at a picnic table on a sunny deck overlooking Rockport Harbor. 

Note: Squeeze in at least one more kayak trip before winter sets in.  Cut back on the taffy consumption, maybe.
