Surf Session # 54,276. (or thereabouts)

Drove the kiddo to school this morning, the thing I love about driving her to school is listening to NPR on the radio, and talking story with her. (when she is in the mood) The love I have for this family keeps growing when the stars decide to align in optimum unison. So today wasnt one of those, but we did have a pretty cool discussion on dealing with people in diffrent situations that fall our way in life.

Mai is not the principals list type student, hell, not even the janitor's list either. But neither was/is her Dad. Most important in her educational experience is getting the idea of effort down. The idea that even if you can not perform some function on a test, or regurgitate facts, you can still feel accomplishment in giving it your best. I dont know how she views my propapganda, but it seems to work. She keeps going for it, keeps trying, and keeps a pretty damn cheery outlook for one who struggles so mightily.

Then you got the inter-female type BS that occurs all around the feminine universe, I reckon. Goddamn, wimmens can sure breathe some hell-fire at each other. OK, we wont go into specifics, but damn, evil whenches abound at a all-girls catholic school.

And on to todays surf -

Surfed the fabled spot of my usual bodily demise; the china walls. Met up with a friend from a friends surf-web site, and had a fun session. Windy, peaky, and hella-good time spent in the old mother ocean. It def beats the snow.

Tons of apologies and aloha to all of you knee deep in sleet, snow, and various other cold-like shit.

For real.

Springs coming, mainlanders!

Although I have no concept of what 'spring' means as a season. Shit its the same everyday here.

Better get back to doing something at this pinkness that jobbo2 has become.

Aloha, warm weather wishes for all.

I've got Mai's back from afar. Not all girls are wired the same. I've had my fill of negative women these last few years, but when you meet one who's just like you, I wouldn't trade the therapeutics of a good pal for anything.
Okay, maybe for perfect family time, but we all need to be understood, and I hope Mai keeps hanging in. The longer she does, the better off she'll be when she's grown. She'll be able to handle it all. Other tests in life besides regurgitating. I hope she learns that from watching all you've done with your life.

Spring is coming. Not quite yet, but I'm feeling it. Thanks for the good vibes to help push us over the hump/snowy hill.
