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 from wherever. That doesn't change the need for community, as in a solid place to call home. Costa Rica is in my blood, has been since I moved here when I was 23. I guess its ok to call Costa Rica home instead of San Diego, but its how I feel. Normally I'd be spending more time with my family, but we're trying to get out of our lease in SD early, probably selling a few things on craigslist or ebay. Is there anyone in or near San Diego who wants a sweet Witch's Rock longboard? I have three of them there and I don't need them. I also have a few Witch's Rock shortboards. All are slightly used but not abused. How about our dog Gus? He is almost six years old, a real sweetheart but seriously afraid of lightning, which makes living in Costa Rica tough. With two kids, a wife, and a job in another country I just don't have the time a dog requires. At least I'm being honest about it. He is a doberman lab mix, a really nice dog, just really big. 90 pounds maybe?... Let me know if you're interested... Besides trying to slow life down for the week, I took the opportunity of the new summer to give Otis the now-traditional head shave that I always knew I'd give my boys, when they were old enough to have hair.
I wasn't done shaving his head when I took this photo. I just about died, realizing that I no longer have two baby boys but instead one baby boy and a little man named Otis. Here is baby Happy, about to turn four months old, chilling with me on the deck in OB yesterday.
If you're shocked, its probably not nearly as much as I'm shocked. Yeah, I know I should get used to the fact that I have two boys, but it just doesn't sink in. Its awesome and crazy all at once. I'll write more once I get back to Costa Rica and get settled, whatever "settled" means.
There is a BIG SWELL on the way, so that is always good news.... a coincidence with my arrival to CR and the surf?
hasta- joe
