W: You, sir? Surfing?

M: Haha, I bet you think I’m too old for surfing! I’ve been surfingsince I was 11, and it’s still my favorite activity. The cool blue waves, thesmell of the sea, just take me back to when I was a teenager free from care. Iforget all my troubles. By Sunday night, I fall into a deep sleep, sore andtired, without a care in the world.

W: That’s really nice. I’m going to the beach, too. I love relaxing inthe warm sun, watching my niece and nephew play in the sand and jump in thewaves. They’ll tire themselves out building sand castles, collecting seashells,and trying to bury each other in the sand.
