He vacations over the summer with his mistress, his mistress' sister, and his mistress' sister’s children by renting out someone else’s home. While on vacation, one of his old students sees him and stops him to have a conversation. The student invites himself to the writer’s beach day. While at the beach, the writer thinks about how his old student has everything. The student mentions that he even has some LSD in his room, and the writer’s mistress is immediately interested. The student thinks that in order to take LSD with the writer’s mistress, he will need to first smoke pot with her. The whole group (with the exception of the children) agrees to smoke together.
