We awakened to a magnificent beach day, last Sunday... perfect for visiting Vicki in Sag Harbor. "Out East," as the natives like to say, holds special treats for Islanders. It seems like a lifetime ago that I lived so close to the ocean. Let it be known that to this day, I miss the salt air, sea breezes and intriguing waters that stretch right to the horizon. Mr. and Mrs. Duck quite agree; they know where the best real estate in town is.

Special thanks to Vicki and Friend C.C., who gave us great conversation, a short djembe roll and a guided tour that took us past one of Billy Joel's Island digs. You'd never know that it is the home of a superstar. Vicki likes to excitedly tell the story of almost bumping into him, as he pulled into the road right in front of her, one day. She pointed out the sign hanging in his garage and visible to all who strolled by. You'll have to trust me in that it says "Joel" in between "Billy" and "Way!! Our popular Island boy has another place to call "home" in nearby East Hampton. And so it goes and so it goes...
We had a warm and wonderful visit, after which we treated ourselves to the beach, before returning to Hotel Kimberly. After all, what would a superb weekend be without an equally superb sunset-over-water?! A random beach-bum seemed to agree...
Give thanks.
