I want to see monkeys!
btw, nice profile pic.
Pics are great- they say a thousand words, which must mean I am a literary genius (but make sure you add a few bullet points or I get confused ~m
Dave,
Sorely missing you today. We are coming in to the wave season the time when we first tried to learn to surf, which was a terrible time to learn because the waves are odd.
Learned a lot since then and now Christian and Connor are out there on overhead waves (to me) almost double to them. They are plowing into what we considered suicide waves like hungry lions and riding them! They were suicide to us because we were taking the wrong wave from the wrong take off point at the wrong balance point on the board.
Its weird to see little connor on a wave that is much bigger than him. Its hard getting him out of the water. Christian is nursing a growth plate issue that is causing him some pain and Cameron is still hanging inside but getting more and more brave. Calvin is boogy boarding on shore.
We try to get pics but its hard because we are so far out and timing is always an issue.
We have a girl from UM that just graduated law school working here temporarily, I told her that you were from MSU and that you wouldn't like her if you met her and that even though you are nice to everyone else on the planet you reserve all your frustration and putdowns for UofM alum. (kidding)
Also, I was talking to some of our local surfers and one of them wants to join the Peace Corps. I will talk to him the next time I see 'im an send him your blog...You may not remember but his name is Chris he is one of the guys from the shack.
Speaking of the shack they built a new one, stronger than ever, that will be destroyed this winter by giant waves just like every year. But its cool, although not as cool as our bamboo teepee.
When you get back we should have a giant supply of surfboards for you to choose from. Also, we had fajita's last night they were good.
Seen lots of movies lately, mostly 1960's bruce brown surf movies. I may have told you this but in one called "hollow days" there is some really great footage of a 15'+ great white (all three fins out of the water) patroling Rincon along with the surfers. They got out after the camera guy got his footage- I suspect he failed to mention the giant man eating shark until then.
I supose a comment this long is like a 4minute phone message so i'm done...
Peace and Vitamin A-

Hey bro, nice to get a word or two from you. Do you have a new blog? And I miss not being out there to surf with you sea dogs, I can't wait to get back out there. Let me know if the person who is interested in the PC to throw any q's my way, I'd be happy to answer them. And tell the girl from U of M I hope she fails miserably at life. Lol, j/j. I'm actually looking into grad school there. Shhh, dont tell anyone.
Never Say, "It's None Of your Business"The statement itself proves to be very suspicious. [url=http://www.mulberryhandbagssale.co.uk]Mulberry outlet shop[/url] My own understanding of this verse comes from a local Messianic Rabbi. [url=http://www.goosecoatsale.ca]canada goose[/url] Vxqskfyab
