Getting Wet

I haven't surfed in years. Last weekend I found a nearly new board at a garage sale for a price I couldn't refuse:

I was talking to a friend about it and he reminded me how easy it is to get wet before work.

All day yesterday it was growing on my mind, so this morning I got up at 4:30.

Once it got light enough, I suited up and paddled out past the break.

Just to give you an idea how long it's been since I've hit the water: the first wave that slapped me in the face made me realize that I was still sporting my eye glasses...

Colorful language insued. Here's a shot from the car as I'm pulling out of the parking lot:

Mother's Christmas Card Post

This post is for you Mom.
Here are some photos that might help you patch together a Christmas Card.
They are all from 2011.

Photos - October 2005 - Mexico Trip

We traveled to Aguascalientes, Mexico so Norma could show me around her home town. We got chased by dinosaurs, boarded moving trains, and hung out in the capitol of this beautiful Mexican state.

Afterwards, my grandmother and aunt took us out to lunch. As we were walking away, my aunt captured the following photo of us:
