    Hoku met the Big Water today.

    Hi All—

    We don't celebrate Christmas (we're Jewish), so for the Christmas holiday we traditionally escape the city and come down to Long Beach peninsula (28 miles of beach, the longest in the U.S.). There's a place we stay... it attracts a hodgepodge of folks who otherwise don't celebrate Christmas, or just want to celebrate it here, at the beach, with other strangers. Just had a huge fancy potluck dinner of 25+ people in the main lodge; now I am back at the cabin with Hoku as they all do a "white elephant" thing.

    Today was Hoku's first introduction to the Big Water—the Pacific. No swimming, of course, but she loved running on the beach, all the smells—fish, seafood, kelp, rotting things. Ran and ran (on leash, but loose) on the beach. She is now snoring, wickedly, on one of the beds. She'll be in her crate later, but for now, I give her this sneaky pleasure.

    I'll post some photos soonish. Right now I am enjoying my quiet cabin by the Pacific with my lovely lovely dog.

    Sounds like a perfect day, unless she rolled in the rotting stuff.
