Day at the Shore after Josh's Graduation

We went down the Ocean City on Monday after graduation to remember the traditions of our "childhood" and to introduce Brooke to the Atlantic Ocean. We ate at the Chatterbox, built sand castles, romped in the waves, played football, walked the board walk, bought souvenirs, and played Skee Ball and X-Men video games, ate funnel cake and seafood. We packed a weekend worth of activities into 7 hours and survived without sunburn or sports injury. A good time was had by all.
On the reading front, I did get a new book from Joshua for Father's Day, "A Post American World" by Fareed Zakaria. It describes the world moving from an American driven economy to a world economy where the U.S. is just one of many econmic and technolgy and military powers in play. It is a positive book that takes a serious look at the economic and military struggles of the current day and the shift in economic power without despair or disillusion. It's a good, thought provoking book.
