Some day, later on in my life, I will come back to Montauk in September, alone, or with someone/people I love. I will eat sushi at West Lake Clam and Chowder House and watch the fishermen gut their catch on the wooden table next to me. I will wear my blue Montauk dress. I will swim in the ocean late at night, when the sharks come close to shore. I will pay the twenty dollars to swim in the salt pools at Guerney’s Inn. I will read and I will let it be quiet. Silence is a gift. I will never again take it for granted.
Reasons I am happy to be here:
cable television
the ocean
Reasons I am not:
The fat, semiretarded cat I found licking itself on my bed last night when I checked in
bugs
my boss living next door
No internet in my room

that kitty sounds like my worst nightmare! so you are living in a hotel now? do you respond to comments on your blog?

I do respond, yes. Most of the time…it would be a stretch to say I’m LIVING in a hotel, because we’re leaving tomorrow, but I’m in a hotel now, yes. It’s actually pretty lovely. I’m looking at the ocean right now…getting rougher by the minute!
