At the start of the show, bandleader Guy Lombardo would glide in to the front of the stage on an enormous wooden runabout speedboat. We were in awe. I was barely awake by the end of the show but on our way out we’d pass a big tent where Guy and his orchestra would be playing for a large well dressed crowd of drinkers and dancers.

Once a year we’d drive further along the ocean parkway, counting rabbits on the side of the road, to Jones Beach Theater to see a musical, Showboat or Fiddler on the Roof under the stars and next to the bay. My grandparents and my aunt and uncle would be there.

When I was a kid, at least once a week in summer my mom would stuff a bunch of sandwiches in a cooler, stuff a bunch of kids in a station wagon along with a blanket and a ratty umbrella and drive over the bridges to “Robert Moses” which was short for Robert Moses State Park, where we’d spend the whole day playing in the waves and digging in the sand.

did not have assassination fatigue on my 2024 bingo card.

@ingrid doing your part to spread delawareness.

@ingrid also there was Jamelle Bouie floating Joe Manchin as a possible vice president on tiktok.

i mean this in the sense that my thoughts and emotions are globular, ill-defined, sticky, messy and prone to hardening on objects

It’s a jelly summer
