Question of the Month with Michael G. D'Agostino

August's question of the month comes (almost) from Jemima Pett. As a variation on "What makes a good beach read?" we have "What is you favorite beach?"

Easy peasy. For over thirty years, my family has gone to Kiawah Island off the coast of SC in the spring. This island (thirty minutes south of Charleston) is famous for its golf courses, but it also boasts a ten mile stretch of beaches.

Besides playing in the surf, we like to play in the sand. If you grab a handful of wet sand and let it dribble through pinched fingers, it will stack up like little pebbles. If you swirl your hand around a bit, you can make what looks like little spruce trees. Sprinkle dry sand on top and wah-la, it's Christmas in sand. 

Or funky coral. Or a scene from Lord of the Rings. 

Or a ginormous birthday cake:
