The January storm was blowing in off the ocean, but a tough handful braved the beach. Brian X, skimboarder, said "Hope it doesn't rain too soon." Scot X, who works in publicity for A&M records, but who is really a drummer, said "Send me a photograph," which I did. Louie X, a volleyball regular, said, "Way cool," after every nice play by the opposing side. When someone poked a large and very strange looking lump on his sun-blasted back, he said, "Probably cancer," and I thought to myself, could be.
