Sex Wax and Saltwater

Before I could ride this micro wave with my wife, I had to swallow a few gallons of sea water, get churned on the sea bed many times and bang my head on my surf board more than once. All I can say about surfing is that it is one of the toughest sports I have ever tried to learn. Waves, sand and fiberglass are not gentle on beginners and while I envisioned myself riding the waves with grace, power and speed, the reality was littered with pain, frustration and a lot of water up my nose. Until next time, when I am sure that I will not be "hanging ten" as they say.

Scary Drive home

It was a slippery drive home on Friday, I was surprise that the icy conditions persisted well south of Roanoke. In the end it took us an hour and half longer than usual but the reunion with our warm house was a good one, until Anne discovered that I had inadvertently turned off the power to both our freezers. The smell emanating from the freezer inside the house was not friendly at all. Even now, two days later and despite a pan full of odor eating cat litter and little pots of ground coffee scattered inside the fridge, the rotten smell still persists. The freezer that was outside fared better as it was colder. I figure that we lost about $150 dollars worth of good meats, including some great wild boar roast that I was looking forward to. Still we are alive and well.
