Back on track....

So, our adventures have taken us to some wild places. We have had some REALLY odd things happen along the way.

Another storm came and went in Huntington Beach while we were in New York (I will write more on that in a minute), and as I write this we are weathering yet ANOTHER storm.

What happened to "It never rains in Southern California"?

Well, I guess one major thing has happened that everyone can rejoice about - Me and Amy are officially engaged to be wed. I am positive that we will be wed in the next few months. :-) I asked her mother for her approval, and was almost instantly questioned about grandchildren. I did not have the heart to remind her that the minute we were married she would be the grandmother of 3 - the oldest being 13...lol

Life is good, we have a fairly decent routine going that has us up all day and sleeping during the night. We shall see how long that delicate balance lasts.

Back to the NY side of things. We were invited to NY to see some friends from the UK. The friends are a pair that happened to have lived there before, and know some of the city's top chefs personally. I must say, I still think caviar just tastes a little salty, but, I am beginning to understand these "foodies" a little bit more.

Here at home things have been interesting as well. We have managed to pick up a sport that is designed for little rubber people that don't shave yet. It is called surfing. I swear I thought I used to be fairly athletic, I almost remember being athletic. This "sport" seems to be easy for some. Trust me, it is not. I have gained a serious respect for any and all of them. My first attempt to catch a wave introduced me and the board - and something that may have been the ocean bottom - numerous times. I can only say it scared me that first time, after that a wipe-out just seemed to be business as usual. The song never entered my mind while out there (too busy staying alive) but I am positive had there been an audience, they would have had one hell of a show.

I will not be giving up on catching a wave. I will get it and when I do hopefully we can capture it on film and I will look upon that picture as evidence that you can, indeed, teach an old dog new tricks.
