"When I am honest, I admit I am a bundle of paradoxes. I believe and I
doubt, I hope and get discouraged, I love and I hate, I feel bad about
feeling good, I feel guilty about not feeling guilty. I am trusting and
suspicious. I am honest and I still play games. Aristotle said I am a
rational animal; I say I am an angel with an incredible capacity for
beer." - B. Manning
I hope all the guys had a happy Father's Day. Between the US Open and the NBA Finals, there sure was a lot for dads to be thankful for. I'll be a dad someday, but not too soon. That seems like such a huge leap, and I keep waiting to wake up one day and feel ready. Maybe I'll never feel ready; though, and it will just have to happen. I can't imagine reorganizing life around a child, and I feel too incredibly selfish for that right now. I want to do a good job... make sure I do it right, you know? Although the prevailing advice from those who have their children already seems to be 'just jump in and do it.' Hmmm...
I will continue to contemplate it. In the meantime, I'll keep surfing while I still have free time. From what I hear, that's the first thing to go when you have kids.
Donnie and Jill Griggs were here last weekend. It's so good to see old friends and pick up right where you left off. Somebody needs to hurry up and get married so I can see some more TM people.
Here's a shot of a mediocre wave on a mediocre day. I could have sworn (in fact, I did) that this day was only head high. I guess I was a little off. Sadly, the board I'm riding in this photo is no more. I broke it the day after this shot.
