Beware The Jellyfish!

    jellyfish

    Okay so they may not be causing as big of stir as the memorable Montauk Monster did this summer, but these tiny monsters are personally causing me a ton of grief.  Saturday, at the Surf Club in Quogue, the conversation with my newest companion went something like this:

    Friend after coming back from a dip in the ocean: "Man that was one of the most unpleasant experiences I've had in my life!" Me: "What are you talking about?!" Friend: "The jellyfish! They are all over!" Me: "Yeah the little bits that float by? Stop being such a baby! I've been in the ocean the last 3 days, just don't let it bother you, become one with the jellyfish pieces."

    Twenty minutes later I get in....I realize the extent of the Jellyfish (you literally feel like you are swimming through a tub of noodles).  it is impossible to swim, and there is definitely no "becoming one with the jellyfish".  I hope this whole situation gets sorted out by the weekend....because I absolutely HATE admitting when I'm wrong.

    To my inquisitive nephew William: THIS is what a Jellyfish looks like. I love you.
