my cousin arrived safely

and they were awake inexplicably early for vacationers. if i didn't have to work, there's no way i'd be up that early. weirdos. they made a quick attempt at getting online but it didn't work right away so they gave up and headed down to the beach. as well they should. early morning and evening-night are the best times for enjoying the beach, imo. i really wish that i had been able to get today off so that i could enjoy spending time with my cousin and cousin-in-law instead of sitting here working and making them play by themselves (yeh, i know that they are absolutely miserable having to spend time alone together on the beach at the gulf of mexico!). is it five yet???
