The Swimming Song by The McGarrigle Sisters
1. Ocean rocks, lake limps? Vice versa? Or "it's all beautiful in its own way"?
I love the Ocean. Sandy Beaches, waves, beautiful sunsets. Lakes?I grew up swimming in Lake Erie, so that's Ok, but small lakes... Muddy bottoms and who knows what's crawling around down there. (anyone heard of the snake head fish that can walk on it's fins from pond to pond?_
2. Year round beach living: Heaven...or the Other Place?
2. Year round beach living: Heaven...or the Other Place?
Yes, heaven. I had a year round house at the tip of Long Island, Orient Point, between the
Bay and the Sound. It was pretty nice. Gone now.
3. Any beach plans for this summer?
3. Any beach plans for this summer?
Not yet. So far, family plans, taking the niece to Hershey Park, and throwing a 90th birthday party for my aunt-all inland. Maybe we can get a trip to the beach in a long weekend. We do live on a coast. Otherwise it's the pool on 42nd St. (Hey, stop that honking!)
4. Best beach memory ever?
4. Best beach memory ever?
Too many to mention, but it could be the summer we rented in the Hamptons, or one of the many summers we were in Orient Point, NY.
5. Fantasy beach trip?

California, traveling down the coast from San Francisco to Monterrey and hitting the beach!

The Swimming Song?
Who are the McGarrigle Sisters?
:-)
Love the song and the video.
LOOOOOVE this song and video. you've made my day! Thanks!
Love those McGarrigles! And that trip from San Francisco to Monterey sounds great -- I have so many happy memories of Point Lobos and Asilomar ... then again going north from SF is great too. Hope you can get some beach time this summer. Pools just aren't the same (then again since I can't swim they are not as much fun for me).
Hey, if you want to do that San Francisco coastline trip, let me know! I can offer a bed for a night or so!
Ooh, the Hamptons! Makes me think of Sex in the City :).
Thanks for commenting on my blog!
The BBM fandom is a community of Brokeback Mountain fans who read and write stories using the BBM characters.
Many of them create an alternate universe, so it can end differently. But some stick to the original premise from start to finish but explore aspects of the story in more detail.
And some write what we call real-person stories, making up stuff about the behind-the-scenes process of making the movie, using Jake and Heath or others, as characters.
I have written both real-person stories and alternate universe stories within the fandom.
I'm not very good, but I've observed that as new writers write more and more stories, they get better. So that's my plan!
I just finished a story with about 20 chapters and now, I need to revise it to see if I can make it better before I spring it on the readers!
oh, I love your fantasy trip! I want to do that (and I'd take the dog too. She'd love to run by the ocean, I'm sure).
oh, I can't get the video until I'm home. bummer.
Like Diane, I love your fantasy trip. I wish I could do that, too.
Long Island is so cool in the summer! And I've always wanted to go to the Hamptons.
Love the video.
