Save all the undertakers' bills, let the mermaids flirt with me

I am on Cape Cod.



Specifically I am on Corporation Beach. I picked up a slipper shell and three pebbles, two white quartz, one soft grey with a water-white line through it. Later we walked through a salt marsh as the sun was setting; I saw a family catching green crabs on the end of a line baited with chicken. There have been excellent fried clams and excellent soft-serve ice cream. Everything smells like salt here. There is excellent sea.

Oh gosh, these are both such great pictures!

You look perfectly at home, and perfectly content. (I always think of you as barefoot on a seashore or salt marsh on some existential level, even when you're on a sidewalk or in a hotel conference room, so it's really cool to see photos that capture that. I am very glad you're having a weekend with the sea.)

Convenient lyrics aside, mermaids are capricious and their teeth are sharp. And all the ones up the Cape are bored and old, though you of all people might find one who remembers the night the Sparrowhawk went down.

This is just to say
I have eaten
All the clam bellies
Which my kid would probably
Crinkle up at biting anyway
Forgive them,
They’re kinda dumb
But like I said,
I got this

Wonderful! I went to the sea this weekend too, though obviously I had to be back for Sunday.

The North Sea, which is the most convenient coast for us, at Scarborough. There's a ruined castle (most recently ruined by the German High Seas fleet in WWI), lots of Victorian houses, a very short funicular railway, a harbour, and two bays, one of which is very much the odd old-fashioned vulgar British seaside, and the other is much more quiet. Sometimes you can see whales, but we weren't lucky this time. Lots of sea birds, though.

I just looked it up.

I've got this interest in street names, of course, and seeing "Corporation Road" leading to it, and just down the way, "Bleak House Circle"...?
