I hope everyone is having a lovely summer. It’s always such a pack-it-in time of year for those of us on the Third Coast– we revel in the good weather, and fill these (too-short) months with outdoor concerts, al fresco dining, camping, swimming, you name it! It is my personal favorite time of the year because it means I can resume my practice of barefoot walking at the beach. It has been a particularly great year because instead of walking on the sand (which means I have to keep a vigilant eye to the ground to avoid stepping on glass), I’ve been walking in the water on the sand bar.
