Sunday was by most accounts overcast, windy and cold. Most sun-loving people stayed home in front of the television or headed to the malls to stroll among the brightly lit windows full of tinsel and glitz. I, however, was strolling along the beach running my bare feet through the cold, clear, invigorating salt water, watching the flocks of gulls fight over shellfish washed onto the shore and enjoying the extraordinary vistas, empty of the normal sun-loving, sun tan lotion toting tourists and students. Not that the crowds are a bad thing; they can be fun too. However, having some peace and quiet with broad stretches of open beach helps revive the soul after dealing with hectic, high tech craziness all week long. I suppose, if you're rich enough, you could just buy one of those $3 Million dollar condos along the beach but for the rest of us, an occasional cloudy day is a good start.
