4 Hectic Days Out East, Nov 22-25

I went out east for the holiday, sleeping in 4 places in 4 days with little sleep, lots of alcohol, hundreds of miles on the road, and thousands in the air.  I saw t shirt weather in upstate NY turn to frigid near-freezing temps two days later, and leafless trees surrounding a backyard my Mom and Rich transformed over the past few months to be more manicured than it has been in years.  I had a 10 year high school reunion highlighted by witnessing an unexpected fight, drunken city walking and a host of boring conversations.  I drank some good wine and ate great food with my friends over at Grapestorm, then flew the longest domestic flight back home to San Francisco the following day.

First day of the season, Nov 18

Got my season pass at Squaw. Bad conditions, but psyched for more.

Linda Mar, Nov 3

I went with Shanna, and unfortunately the waves were almost non existent.  She swam sans a wetsuit, and I caught a handful of bad waves.  Luckily, the weather was gorgeous!
