Holiday

Today was the day of the constitution here in Mex, a day off from the stress of... well you know. The schools and banks were closed and the town was full up with city folks making the best of their three day weekend. We took grandma Irene to the airport after I grabbed a little surf in the early morning. There was decent swell and I am getting the hang of the new little board. Basically I need about a week straight of riding any particular board before I really start to feel it.

Walking back out of the spot this evening (yes, two sets in one day!!!) I pulled cotton from the little bush growing on the side of the road. How cool is it to have cotton growing right there out in the wild? I think pretty cool.

Our friends Tamra and Theo had their house burgled last night and they took their computers. I feel so bad for them, that totally sucks. I hope they recover their data or something. What jerks to steal a computer. It just makes someone's life a total drag. Arg. We are in full vigilance mode with all entries locked and bolted.

Now I go to watch the rest of the Patti Smith movie, if you haven't started it get on it!

Also my mom intimated that I was starting to speak "surfish" which I think is an excellent name for the bro brah lingo. It made me laugh out loud because Treva accuses me of wanting to speak elvish- the language Tolkien created that led to his writing of the Lord of the RIngs. He wrote the trilogy plus the Hobbit so that he could have a world in which his language(s) could live. So for me surfish is the perfect mix of my love of all things nerdy and the world of the water. Perfect!
