I would show you a picture of the wax glob that came out of Camden's left ear on Tuesday. But I didn't get a picture of that. Too bad for you.

What we now have is a left ear with an infection known as swimmer's ear. Yesterday, Camden was at 25%, though he claimed many times that he would rather be at flat zero.

Today he's at three quarters.

Tomorrow he plans to be at nine dimes.

As I type, he's tying knots using his new knot book. Right beside me, watching Royal Pains. At almost 11 p.m. It's so cool having a son who is a night owl like me.



Here are the boys being cordial.
Isn't it lovely?
Fabulous?
They are friendly, respectful, kind.
This is the golden rule, people.
I actually spend
weeks teaching this!


Here you see Benjy digging.
Or trying to dig.
I think the thrill is in digging, not so much the hole.




My new favorite shot of Camden. Even with an earful of infection, he's still such a blessing.
Of course, this is his healthy ear.



And Camden making his Coke Zero ad.


Finally, the family of geese we saw as we left the point on Tuesday.
Look, it's Curt,
Camden,
Benjy,
and
me.

Just look at that blue sky, people!

It was like this all day long yesterday.

And there was even a little breeze to keep things exciting.



The waves were wild on the ocean side at the Point yesterday. Camden took some ferocious tumbles, but lived to watch the video I made of it.

Yeah, it was all worth the bumps and scrapes when he could relive his 6 seconds of glory on video.


Camden's favorite point of interest, besides the Atlantic ocean, is this torpedo-turned-shark yard art we pass between our beach cottage and everything else we visit.


My favorite siting so far, and has been every year, is this space ship house.


Can you believe that blue water?
