Playing In The Sand

Miguel was supposed to go to Atlantic City today, but he called me around ten o'clock and asked, "Do you want to go to the beach today?"
"But aren't you going to AC?" I asked.
"You aren't supposed to answer a question with a question," he replied.
"Well, then, yes, I want to go to the beach."
"Ok, I'll be home around 12:15, make sure you're ready."
I wasn't quite ready at 12:15 -- it took another hour to finish the preparations, since we were travelling with another couple and baby. But we had a blast in the water -- and some of us had a blast in the sand as well!
