Sunday

Swell is coming up, I had a great(ish) morning on the new 7' boards as there was alot more push to the waves than a few days ago. I had a really nice ride once I figured out that I can move up toward the front of the board. I am used to moving up to get going faster to beat the close out but with the shorter board I have been hesitant to move to the "real" front because it seems like I'll just topple off the front. I have been taking the last few days of small waves to get comfortable on the new board and it is starting to pay off. I just drink more salt water than I am used to on the 8' or 9'. I am so thankful to all you who pitched in, I love that board!

Treva's grandmother Irene is here right now for a quick long weekend visit and we got to play the game "Settlers of Catan" last night and after a daunting read through the instructions it was a pretty awesome board game. Usually I feel a bit forced into playing the games but I really enjoyed this one. I think the last crop of performance based games wore thin, at least to me. They are pretty social and fun under circumstances but they got a bit too clever for me. This game appeals to the d&d dork in me but it was also cool because there are many equalizers in the game so even though I was SURE I was going to win Astrid/Treva pulled it out. Until next time...

Yep, things are pretty awesome. How sick are you hearing me say that?

After reading about the ipad ALOT I think it could be a good laptop replacement for Astrid but the no flash thing wigs me out. I took a look at the video command in html 5 on just a few browsers and it seemed pretty inclusive to most? It will be awhile before it is ubiquitous but whatever...

Okay, that is all. Carry on...
