Sunsets....

"She shimmers like a California sunset
Lady lady, glitters but there's no gold
She carries sweetly infectious magic formulas
I'm so delirious, is she that serious?
Or is she bringing me on, I've been waiting so long"
~ Jamiroquai (from Love Foolosophy)

Atlantic Dunes Reserve Beach

We have settled in at the house in East Hampton, and with June behind us have settled in on some really nice weather. The fourth of July weekend was complete with sun filled days to relax at the beach, golf, play volleyball or just lay around the pool. We ended up having a great first night on Thursday at Georgica for a little bottle service and dancing, then spent Friday around the pool. Nicole, Laura, Owen, Alex and I went to Buckskill Tennis center nearby for Alex and I to have a showdown on the grass courts there. It was the first time I had ever played on grass, and even though I haven't played in a while, was able to pick up my shots pretty well on the funky new surface. When complete, I walked off the court victorious having won 6-1, 6-1. I've heard Alex has been practicing since, so a rematch may be in the works. We also hit up Surf Lodge out in Montauk to celebrate the Independence Day evening, and we all ended up loving the space and our time out. Of course the rest of the weekend was left to relaxing, hitting a few golf balls and getting recharged for the week ahead at work.

Crustaceans Arrive at 10 Lafayette

It took us a little while to get our act together, but we finally stepped up and got our shellfish on. Dan, Jason and I drove to our fresh seafood shop from last year in Sag Harbor, loaded up on many pounds of steamers and enough fresh lobster for everyone at the house. We left Dan to the boiling and he really came out with hot, steaming and tender grub. I don't think anybody left the dinner table that night unsatisfied. And there should definitely be more to come later this summer... because how can you go wrong with a lobster dinner, right?
