a sailor, snowboarder, skater, soccer player, drunk, sad ennui-ed philosopher, chef, single.

I am still many of these things. But, I've given up other boardsports entirely, but a skateboard purchase is in the tea leaves.

NMM, If you played pool at Marathon, River City, Sewickly's, Belmont Inn, Matador or the Triple Nickel (among many others, but those were places I hit at least once a week), we've met.

What was I before I started surfing? ... um.. someone who didn't surf...

Well, I guess I can say I was in love with snowboarding before I surfed...
