it just keeps raining

May 28th, 2008

I guess it can’t be sunny every day. Not a big deal though, its quite nice to get a good rain. I’m living in my house in Avellanas again finally, after how many months of having baby Happy in the states? I’m stoked for rain because I have a well, and the end of the dry season last year meant hardly any water in my well. Now the well is full again, just like that. …

whirlwind tour of California

May 26th, 2008

I’ve left and come back. Actually, I’m almost back but not quite yet. I’m in the continental presidents lounge at Houston International, sitting at one of their work desks. Have I turned into one of those guys? You know who I mean. The Secret of My Success Michael J Fox of the 21st century with wifi and an iphone. Hopefully not. These days you can exist anywhere, simply using your laptop and do your work …

thats what I’m doing. no need for the suitcase, I’ll be back in a week anyways. I should just leave clothes here anyways. I will miss my Nintendo and RC Pro-Am, that has been a life saver. But I will be glad to leave the surf camp, I’m sick of working. Not that it isn’t awesome to run a surf camp. Surfing, fooseball, rum drinks, salsa dancing, sushi, surfing, chilling with my dad under the …

That picture describes the last twenty minutes of my life. Oh, that and I have this Modest Mouse song stuck in my head AloneDownThere.mp3 I was supposed to fly back to San Diego tomorrow but ticket prices went up $500 for the Saturday outbound flight and I decided it was better to move my schedule around on the other end so I’d have even more time with my family and fly out on Monday. Another …

finally some waves again

May 11th, 2008

I think I was going a little stir crazy this week. I stayed upstairs from Monday when I returned from the airport until Friday night, except to get a coffee or a couple quick surfs. I’ve been in hiding trying to get caught up on work, having meetings, organizing thoughts, making phone calls. I got a lot done, I’m still getting a lot done. Finally the surf picked up on Friday, in the afternoon on …

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gh5a_uemynU]I’ve been spending so much time on my computer lately that some of the time I just can’t get myself to do any work, like when I’m eating a fish casado or one of my restaurant creations (current favorite is the new Witch’s Tejano, a cheeseburger with bacon and BBQ sauce, mmmmm….) and I’ll find myself on youtube and have been watching some of the most random stuff. Somehow I got to this clip and …

keep on truckin

May 5th, 2008

Well, if you drove through Tamarindo you’d see that the high season has ended. Or at least thats what people tell me. I guess most of the streets are pretty empty, most all of the restaurants and bars are slow, even though WRSC is quite busy every night. We’re lucky for that, I guess we’ve weathered the storm and have a dedicated following here in town now. I never go out anyways. I haven’t walked …
