Beside the Wine-Dark Sea

N doing his best King Lear.

We finally had our much needed rain front come through Southern California. It poured last night and it's pouring again tonight, but there was a bit of a break midday. Stacy and the kids were up in the Hermosa Beach area for something-or-other this morning and took advantage of the break in the weather to go see the storm-churned surf up close and personal.

In the Iliad Homer refers to "the wine-dark sea." That imagery has always captured my imagination and I thought of it again when Stacy showed me these pictures.





L practicing her Tae Bo.



Everything was just fine until that lifeguard in the dune buggy
bounded over the hill and squashed the children.
