firefly124They took folks on an outing to the beach tonight. I'm guessing we have a pass for the state beaches, otherwise, that was a rather expensive outing.
The nearest state beach is a lovely place. Everyone had a good time. They couldn't stop talking about it. Those of you familiar with both the New London area and the fandom referenced in my prior post may be catching on right about now.
I didn't catch on at first. I've been familiar with said state beach since we moved here in '99. Until tonight, I hadn't really given its name any particular thought. Nor did hearing it come up in a tv show bring the beach to mind. Until about the fourth time someone mentioned it tonight. Then it got amusing. Then it got old. By the time my relief person arrived at midnight, I was about done with hearing and reading that particular name. Alas, there was no escaping it.
Relief Person: Why is this cooler sitting here wide open?
Me: Oh, they went to the beach earlier. I was just leaving it to air out and be sure it was dry before I put it away. *closes and puts away*
RP: Really? That's nice. Which one?
Me: *sigh* Harkness
