Enjoy Life

This weekend I will get a chance to meet up with some good friends and play in the sand at Cannon Beach.  We will be there with a lot of other people competing in the 50th annual Sandcastle Contest.  Although there will be judges we will just be aiming to have a good time and hopefully please the crowd.  My friend Mike has gotten us together for this event as he has on many previous occasions.  This year will be his third competition since his lung cancer diagnosis, the guy doesn't let much slow him down.  The past couple weeks however his health has taken a bit of a turn as his current drug regiment is no longer working for him (sadly I can relate).  He will be starting up a new regiment and I really hope it works for him.  What I do know is that he will be enjoying his toes in the sand directing us to create his latest sandy masterpiece.  We will slave for 6 hours moving tons of sand and whittling it down into sculpture.  The final work will be gazed upon for a couple hours at best as the tide comes in to wash it all away.  Nothing but change is forever.
