Endless Summer / The Beach Boys
Although I was born a Pisces in the sunny state of California, I can barely swim and I’ve never managed to get a deep dark, savage tan. I’ve wondered over the years then, do I still count as a California Girl?
Probably not, I wasn’t there for very long. They moved out in January, I was born in March and we were all back East by May. There are lots of stories of this trip. Most of them bad, and I remember nothing. This is a shame really, as I remember being in my crib and I must be less than a year - but I don’t remember the trip.
California remains elusive. For years I’ve said some summer I wanted to drive across country, but it never happens. There really were an endless summer, this would be the first thing I did.
Today, I’m not driving across country but back from almost the Canadian border. It’s about six hours. We’ve gone upstate for a 50th anniversary This was summery, taking place on Lake Champlain, and feeling endless.
