This is a prologue to a story about helping my friend with her computer, which I love doing. The last time I was there she thrust a hundred dollars into my hand as I was leaving. The first one to correctly guess how I reacted wins a valuable prize.1. I hand it back demurely saying, "Oh no. I could never accept this."
2. Protest, then take it. Before leaving the room I stuff it under her Wacom tablet.
3. Take it, but as I go outside and she closes the door, I slide it back into her mail slot.
4. Take the money and run to my car.
p.s. (Above) That's how the ocean looked today when we started our walk. An hour later, the sky was clear, and the beach was packed with people watching the sun set.
