the tropical storm in the Gulf yesterday made for some marvelous waves
as soon as we heard there was a red flag we piled everybody and their boogie boards
into the van and headed south.
they were good waves, too–
big, but not so high that they slam down on you.
mostly there were a lot of them and they were pretty strong.
and i got some really good rides. one of them all the way to the sand.
i was soooo tired on the way home. a good tired. wiped out and happy.
today my arms hurt from using the board. it’s a lot of work to fight those waves!
just getting past the first line of them took about five minutes.
fortunately my head does not hurt from where i got wacked with my board.
(that was all thanks to my oldest brother and a crab. it hurt at
the time, but at least i gave the best scream of my life.)

Wasn’t it raining yesterday?
Sounds like fun. I’ve been missing the beach lately, I havn’t been there in over a month.
Wow, narly!!
Long time no hear. How are you?
Just vacation in Cali for now. My new job has branches all over including internationally (the parent company is based in Germany) so with advancement, relocation is probably feasible. So any vacation I take here on out will include an eye toward what it’s like to actually live in the area…
This time, though it is a University of TN football game (my first in a truly hostile environment!! Vanderbilt doesn’t count!!) plus touristy stuff and hanging with my newly married friend Randy who moved just north of San Francisco.
Wow, another long-ish comment. I am the king of them!!
You are sitting next to me making funny comments about golf. What a well rounded education we have had!
Cowboys poo, Texans rock. My roommate is actually getting me into football. This is scary.
