Well, it was a nice idea, wasn't it? But nature isn't all pretty sunsets and fresh breezes.

I decided to follow-up yesterday's beach walk with a quick stroll after dropping the girls in school. And… well, the weather was somewhat less conducive:

Still, it wasn't *bad* weather because I was wearing appropriate clothing, so I decided to do a [2 minute beach clean](https://beachclean.net/why?ref=walkingwithdaddy.com). I've been a fan of the concept since I encountered it, and the girls and I try to do one at least once a week.

For example:

And there was plenty to find today. I suspect the stormy weather was bringing more up the beach than normal:

After a little over the standard two minutes (I think I did about 10), this was my haul:

Time to toughen up, Adam. Get used to the blustery beach walk — and do some good while you're out there. 

*(Also: I redesigned the site. What do you think?)*
