#199 - surfing at christmas-time


come on... who DOESN'T want to live in hawaii? here it is three days before christmas and i went surfing, how sweet it that? it's the first time i've been in a long time actually, and the first time that i've been to white plains in months, i've gotten too spoiled with the north shore (plus it's closer) and haven't been down south probably since summertime. but, with it being all humungulous up north lately, and then with all that rain and brown water, this is the first time i've been surfing since before thanksgiving. so it was perfect timing that brandi came back to visit just when the rain was letting up and the water was clearing.

unfortunately, it was still wicked cold so we couldn't stay long before freezing our asses off. but i still had my underwater camera from when i went on that shark cage tour this summer so we used that up and i'll FINALLY have my underwater pictures, woo!

then, since it's apparently become habit for me to couple my youthful activities with something elderly... we went to wongie's house to play mah-jong, something else i haven't done in a long time, except this time i haven't played for years. it's kind of hard to play anyway, since you need exactly four people each time and the rules are kinda complex if you don't know anything about it (plus the characters are all chinese), but tons of fun, old people need to have fun too right?

oh, and yes, kathleen WAS knitting while we were playing... i would insert a joke here, but really, why should i be surprised at all the old things she does anymore?

anyway, good day overall... up next... underwater camera pics = SHARKS! woo hoo.

never, EVER be surprised by what kathleen does. haha and it's best not to tease her when she's got those mondo knitting needles in her hands!
