A Tree-Hugger Forsakes his Volvo for a Big White Pickup Truck

A modest proposal



Its only the first day of Spring, but my artist friend and creative muse Aurelio is already pondering how we can take advantage of my Ford pickup truck to create a more fabulous beach experience this summer. His idea is to start off slow. Perhaps a rug, two or three umbrellas, a small chaise with cushions and an ottoman. Things that are easy to haul in the truck. The big question, of course, is where to set up. Is it possible to do it south of Poodle Beach, just beyond the hot dog stand and close to the water's edge? As the days pass and people get used to the scene, we begin to step it up and bring out a little more each day. Add a pair of twin beds with mosquito nets and cushions. It will be important to ignore any reactions and not to answer any questions. Intrigue and fabulocity.

Your stuff keeps improving - good writing can come from promotion highs.

This idea of hauling furniture to the beach is one of your best.

Sure, why not. I've got visions of a big float. We can put a fancy sofa in the bed and have bottles of champagne to drink and flowers you can toss to passersby.
