I think he was working on the Church/State separation thing. Either way my point today is to surf anyway. You never regret it.


When I pulled up it was small and uninviting. the kids sprinted for the lineup. I stayed on the stairs for a bit.

Then this guy who was changing out of his wetsuit next to me came over.

Guy...(in heavy French accent) 'I might be out of place but you should go out. Be with your kids. You will feel better after you surf'

Me...'OK!' In any other place or situation he would be out of place. But as soon as he said so, I was on. I knew he was right.

So I went out. Erik Baldwin pulled up to start his coaching session with Lucas. Lucas was stoked and surfing well. Ed came down and it was fun. I came out of the water a completely different person then when I entered.



It was fun. I ran into Paul and Mary Fleener and Paul gave me my coveted ASL(Avocado Street Local) hat!
