We happened upon a watermelon and banana eating competition at the beach this weekend. A nice sized crowd gathered to watch, but it took some time and effort to recruit four people with enough spirit to take the challenge. The young man closest to the camera won. His prize . . . McDonald's Gift Cards.

"The prospect of a long day at the beach makes me panic. There is no harder work than taking myself off to somewhere pleasant, where I am forced to stay for hours and have fun." Phillip Lopate
