Usually the Monday following four incredible days full of sunshine in Port Aransas with twenty friends is a Monday in every sense of the word.

The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone. ~George Eliot These days, more than ever, I'm trying stay focused on the minute I'm standing in…to not let my mind replay…
