BEACH: PART TWO

Remember that feeling sitting in the back of your family's station wagon as you traveled across country on a road trip? The smell of dried, room-temperature ketchup lingered upon your top lip as your brother's open mouth puffed out trash-bag, fart breath. You held on tightly to the possibility that, unlike all previous family trips, this trip would not be a disastrous shit storm of forced family bonding. No, this trip would be the best yet. . .And then seconds later, the air conditioner gives out, and your brother throws your pound puppy out the window. In Episode One and Two of "BEACH," travel back to a time when TV/VCR combos were the technology of the future, and dinner at The Red Lobster was like dining at a 3-star Michelin restaurant. Join me on an Averagely Allgood family trip to Panama City Beach in the early 1990s.
