I put up pictures from my day at the Jersey shore. According to Freddy, it's called the "shore" instead of the "beach" due to the regional impact of the fisherman vernacular; since fishermen see the strip of sand between the land and water from the perspective of the water, they see it as the "shore," as opposed to the land dwellers, to whom it's the "beach." Hmm.

People We Like. I've got a new photo in The Morning News: the co-owners of Frank White, an unusual coffee shop in my neighborhood. — 07.17.08 Charles Atlas will make a man of you!

She's an American living in Belgium and happens to be one of the best people I know. — 12.19.07 |
