Perfect Beach Day today, temps in low 90s with low humidity. Despite 100% sunshine, hardly got burned at all despite spending hours in the sun with just one application sunscreen. Actually went in the water this time and did some swimming underwater. Didn't get off the beach until close to 3PM and wasn't even tired coming home. Took a walk and cooked up some barbeque and had a late night, reading and websurfing until almost 1AM.

Had strange dream this morning before waking up for the beach. I was in middle of Boston high up on a ledge about 10 stories off the ground and my only way down was a flimsy ladder that I had to crawl into because the top part of it was enclosed. When I tried to get into it, the entire ladder came off the ground some 10 stories below. It was great waking up from that dream as I was really in a jam.
