"heee huuu heee huuu hiiiiii....harmonica."

i spend the day sailing around the harbor off of salem today with my dad and his 76 year old friend jack. it was wonderful. i haven't sailed for at least 8 years, so it was nice to get out on the ocean in a slow boat once again. i played captain for a little while and took over the helm while the men rested because old bones need rest. i really like the north shore. i like the south shore too. i think i'm going to move out to the ocean as soon as i gain the financial means.

and now for a story. i was sitting on the couch tonight with mom and dad watching a scary movie, when all of the sudden we hear a loud "THUNK" on the roof. it sounded like someone fell off a tree onto our house. it was dark and my mom and i were scared so we made pappy go check it out. he climbs onto the roof and stomps around for a while, and then he comes back inside and says that he found an apple smashed all over our roof! we heard a little plane flying overhead that had been buzzing around for a while, and we realized that some stooge in the plane threw their apple out and it landed on our roof. i laughed, but at the same time felt slightly annoyed that someone would throw their apple into a neighborhood. though i probably would have done the same because littering is empowering.
