Edward Kemberge - not to be confused with his husband, the other Edward Kemberge - is what you'd call a busy beaver. He cooks (and his food is darn good!), he cleans, he gardens, he jogs, he helps his son with homework, and he does it all with sass and no shortage of things that rhyme with the word!

But one of the things he's always done since he was a little boy was swim. He loved going to Locksmouth's beach with his father, he loved going there and building sandcastles as a kid, and frolicking in the water. As a teen, he loved swimming out behind the rocks and cuddling up to beaus and dames half the city over. As an adult, he returns to the beach in the warm seasons and does his best to keep the little troublemakers stay out of all the trouble he dove headfirst into when he was their age.

Of course, even he can be surprised. Max is always an unexpected... surprise, we'll call him.

Boy Locksmouth sure is interesting now though, what with all the aliens running around. Maybe it's time to skip a summer and just stay home.
