There is one place where I time travel: the beach. As I walk the wet sand, the ocean air goes deep into my lungs and permeates my being. I could be four years old holding my mother's hand as we scan for shells, or a new mom carrying my daughter. I see my father (who hated sand despite having worked at Jones Beach) vigilantly watching the youngsters as they play in the waves. A moment later my sister challenges me to a race to the boardwalk for Cracker Jack.
I haven't been able to make my usual time travel trips to the shore this year. I'm losing myself in books instead, and while I don't inhale the pages I do enjoy the journeys. I hope you can do the same.
