No work to do, no errands to run, no friends around today... What to do?
Let's go on a bike ride!
So I packed all of my crap (towel, Gatorade, book) and biked down to Venetian Shores in Lindenhurst, Long Island.
This place is my go-to for time-killing in a beautiful setting. It's the endpoint on my usual bike route. It's where I get to see old people dancing to cover bands on a random weeknight.
You have to be a Town of Babylon resident in order to access the beach. But since I am not a Town of Babylon resident I simply ride my bicycle.
This place gets pretty crowded, especially if there is live music at the pavilion which during the peak summer months there's always a pretty decent band playing. The drinks are strong (pina coladas!!!) and you can get food there as well (typical beach food but pretty refreshing if you've been baking in the hot sun)
The beach is picturesque. I lay out on a towel, snap a couple of pictures, and then Kindle it up for a an hour or so. I could do without the guys driving their cars past me, blasting obsolete ballad bands.
If you're done cleaning and doing laundry, and feel like the world is passing you by, you can go down to Venetian Shores, and kill some time soaking up the sun and watching people play hookey from their 9-to-5's.
