If the hat fits must I aquit?

I am a man of many hats. I am a gentleman of leisure, yet a gad-about-town. A world-weary traveler, but also a babe in toyland. But tho’ I wear so many hats in a day’s transit, there are some hats best not donned.

A hat too far!

This travesty of haberdashery was foisted upon me by some well-meaning ladies who accosted me this weekend last during my sojourn to the ocean. T’was in vain that they inveigled me to don such an improper cranial ornamentation. Not to don, but to doff! The next head cozy was more to my liking.

Where be gold?

I cannot say the how of it, but upon donning this hat I was overtaken by a powerful desire to take to the seas in search of adventure. I dare say but that if I had kept this hat on top of my head I might now be a pirate waylaying the unwary. My first act of piracy would be to chop off the head of anyone wearing the blue sequined hat from before!

After the fashion show of hats and such I went in search of solitude. On my lonely journey, far from the maddening crowd, I caught the glimpse of a handsome young man of scarcely my own age. I ran to greet him, embracing him as a brother.

It was only later that I learned that he was only my reflection. I should have known they could never make two of anything so cute. Alas!

These were but some of the adventures I had this weekend past with Mother, Rebecca, Sara, and Jenn at the beach. Such a weekend it was, just I and three lovely ladies to entertain as only I know how. Did they ever stand a chance?

The Ocean is Wide

I have made the most remarkable discovery this weekend past: I have seen the ocean, and it is truly stupendous in its breadth and width, such that I can scarce believe it possible that anything could extend so far in all directions.

Father held me down where I could observe the waves coming in, an event I beheld over and over with rapt attention.

Following this, Mother took me in her arms and ran freely out to sea! We were quickly engulfed in the pounding surf, an experience I will never forget.

My concept of “large” must now be amended. Now that I have seen the ocean I can understand that there may be a few other things out there that I have yet to discover. If I had not seen the ocean I would not have believed any who told me of it. I recommend to anyone such an experience. Not to be missed.
