The years have caught up to us but we still like to play. Every now and then we get lucky. Last Saturday was such a day.
I am Stan, and my wife is Linda. I am seventy-two and Linda is seventy. We are both carrying twenty pounds too much. We live in Destin, Florida and enjoy visiting our favorite place on Okaloosa Island, Beasley Park. Last year, I bought a small tent to put up to get out of the wind and sun.
Saturday morning we were on the beach. Linda helped me get the tent secured to the sand. Our beach chairs and ice chest sat outside the flap of the tent.
Linda was reading and I was listening to blues on my ear buds. Every now and then, we would look up to see who was walking down the beach.
Oh, to be young again. We saw some great hard-bodies, both male and female.
I was sipping a cold beer when I saw him coming at a distance. "Take a look, baby," I said to Linda.
She looked up. Headed our way was a thirtyish guy with a great tan and brown hair, six feet tall and maybe one-seventy. He was wearing a low-rise French cut men's bikini. He was sporting a very impressive bulge.
"What are you thinking, honey?" Linda asked.
"I am thinking I would like a taste of that."
"I thought you might."
He drew near enough for me to call out. "Tourist, huh?" and held up my beer can.
He walked over to where we were sitting. "How'd you know?"
