As heard in the line up
"Shouldn't you old guys be Golfing, drinking in a bar somewhere or Antiquing"
It was funny. It didn't hit me for a while that he was talking about me. Maybe I should be antiquing somewhere or drinking in a bar. Golf ....never. But the answer is no. I was not mad when I realized this kid wanted me antiquing. The younger kids sit in the line up but don't know where the take off spot is. They never look in for houses or trees or other landmarks. The line up is the line up. It takes time to get it.
I spent several years surfing Stockton Avenue in Santa Cruz. The take off spot was about the size of my computer screen. But in all the years the pecking order persisted. I was no closer to having a prime spot at 35 years old than I was at 15. It is the way it is. I was just as irked back then that the older guys would get the waves.
