I went surfing again on Friday. While I was out there a woman started to call out to me in a hick like voice"let me ride that thing, hey come over here' let me ride that thing..." I looked over, sunscreen stinging my eyes. My instinct was to be nice and smile. I projected a half smile over about thirty yards of breaking foot high waves. Then the ancient instincts kicked in and I started to paddle in the exact opposite direction. A sea monster, I thought to myself with my arms flailing and my forehead pinned to the front of my powder blue nine foot fruity waxed "stick". When I leave the ocean I usualy look down into the inch deep water running in and out over the sand and shells. i allways get vertigo from this. As I was walking out of the water on Friday I saw a perfect circle of minnows about three feet across. When I got closer to the little school it shifted all at once, just a big dot of shimmering fish.
abrupt skits, painful theatre, improv of the absurd

That's right...obey your instincts...paddle away from any and all redneck women ravenously craving to sit upon your fruity, long "stick"...Signed, your ever-loving wife, Beth!
Ooh, dirty.
We went to Rockaway this weekend. The waves were great & we thought of you. If you come up in warm weather, there's a shop that we can rent boards.
