Don’t Swim Out Past The Breakers

The red flag snapping in the wind behind the lifeguard station indicates “high hazard” from a rip current, which usually drags folks out to sea between the breakers. The note on the sandwich board next to the flag says that you shouldn’t go in more than “waist high.”

“If you go any deeper than that, it activates the post-nup,” Katie says forcefully.

When I ask her what the post-nup is (first I’m hearing of it, anyway) she says, “It means if you die I get to say I told you so.”
