Cold Surf

I have been surfing out in front of my studio lately, on the beautiful white snow beaches of Maine.
There has been great swell recently and nobody around....except for a few seals and the occasional lobsterman.
Sometimes when I wake up and check it, I pretend I'm going to paddle out somewhere tropical, and I imagine the beach filled with bikini clad girls all waving at me, drinking fruity drinks and suffering from strap malfunctions and lonliness, I see a sailboat docked out front with some people sipping cosmos on the deck. The skipper yells, "Ty the shrimp are on the grill, it will be another minute before the tuna burgers are done though, and hey the misuse says she can do the massage now or after you finish surfing"........all of which fades quickly on the first duckdive, reminding me that water can actually get hard in this climate.

Snow Dump

Today the weather report is saying up to ten inches of snow...
Many are grabbing shovels and salt in preparation for the dumping. I'm looking at plane tickets in hopes of getting to a warmer climate for a "thaw" session...
This summer I spent a month in a warm tropical place, with waves, killer views, nightlife, and the occasional boat trip, however even with all that, there is something to be said for a quiet day drinking tea watching a snow blanket tuck a town to sleep.....and you don't need sunblock for that.
