Aha-aha

Gordo carry board n' slice me rail, rail

Gordo and I headed down the long pathway to the break, along the way Gordo repositions his board on to his shoulder and the fin on his board comes down on the rail of my board cracking a little glass on the rail. Ahh meng...., no worries. He now gets a little tribute. Once in the water all was good, a couple of nice buses came through and Patchie and Gordo a-be-good.

I had
a gritty
wrestling match
with my pillow.
So glad I made it out.

It was a gray morning and I was groggy. The muted colors of the early morning were contrasted by the inner glow I had from the three waves that were day makers, my last wave was a gem. Garrett was ready to take off on a beauty, as he was on an SUP, he had the perspective to see that another one was coming before we all could, he let me know the second one was coming so I got into position for it, a nice shoulder high wave that I rode to the sand.

Don't Rain on Me

It was small,
with twenty five minute lulls
but I still had fun.

The Hair.
I remember walking into Spencer's, way towards the back when, making my way towards the back of the store where all the posters were hung on racks underneath black lights and sparkly lava lamps. There it was. The Mexican blanket backdrop, the feathered hair, the red one piece.

The Glove.
I met MJ once. It was in the 80's during the height of his number one selling album Thriller. Some friends and I went to go see a movie, the theater was empty except a guy wearing a hat and two huge guys, one on either side of him. As I got closer I realized it was Michael Jackson. I introduced myself and asked if I could get an autograph, he replied, "sure I'll meet me in the lobby after the movie". The show ended and the lights went up, the only people left in the place were my friends and I. We entered the lobby and the Gloved One was waiting there, pen in hand, he called me over, shook my hand and asked if I had a piece of paper, so I grabbed a napkin from the snack bar and he signed it. I still have the autograph.

We've all had loved ones taken away too soon, embrace what you have. Cherish the simple moments in life. No regrets.
