So, I bought this bike, right? No, not THIS bike, but a brand new one of lesser quality. I do this way too much. I try to spend less money and buy an inferior product, thinking I will be OK settling. Settling is not my thing. EVER! The above bike is the one I ended […]
John Whitmore. The father of South African surfing. Affectionately called, “Die Oom.” (The Uncle!) If you were a surfer in the ’60s, you saw the Bruce Brown film, “The Endless Summer.” It was like watching a dream.

By now you must know that I attend AA. That’s unless you just happened upon my blog. I’ve been “coming around” as they say, since June 28th, 1996. That’s 22+ years of sobriety, “one day at a time.” In the photo above, if you look closely, you’ll see an “AA” with an arrow, on the […]
