ben tyler and i were at bens cottage on the weekend for some end of season r and r. and ya my week off was not enough, the city still pisses me off. tyler was fooling around a bunch in his playboat (aka super small kayak for crazy rapids) and since i was on shore i did a lil photo-shoot ish thingy to pass the time. ben got in as well to make it a lil more interesting. other than that it was good times, camp fires, board games (star wars risk is crazy and annoying) and water-skiing. which my back still hurts from. apparently during cuts tyler and i were dropping the sea-doos speed from 34-26 mph. i guess thats why we made so much slack. at one point the rope just got pulled from my hands and i just glided for a bit with a strange look on my face according to ben. which i also make when i get into really cold water.

well another year at nangor done. the week off was amazing, lots of fun times and lots of sitting and doing nothing on a beach in the sun. did a bunch of golf, not some of my best games but still nice. we had no front or back pressure from other players on one of the courses we were at one day. it was the higher end on in the area so really let us go our pace and have fun. water-skiing was awesome. we got to do a sunset session on glass water one night so that was just euphoric. but weather got a lil wacky at the end of the week so didn’t get many more changes to cut it up behind a boat.

man the city is irritating. but i will be off camping for a company event thurs and fri. then off to a cottage possibly for friday evening and the rest of the weekend. so heres hopping.

im heading back up to the beach for a week. see you all when i return as a brown man.

nothing spells summer like the escape into nothing for a couple days. its that time of year again where i vanish to the nangor beach for parts of two weeks to empty my head of all the hassles of the real world. the two days i spent there this weekend total bliss. i spent a bunch of time just sitting in the sun, reading surfing magazines taking in the culture and stories and mainly admitting to myself that i can easily drop everything and hit up california next summer for a year. life has become a complicated mess of things. for once in several upon several months things seemed simple again. good times.. good talks.. good nothingness.
