#134 - The problem was solved by going out to the end of the rickety old pier that jutted forty yards into the surf and jumping in. The waves were almost level to the boardwalk.
Your sure have lived an adventurous life, James. Add surfing to your exploits. There is nothing like doing something you really enjoy with others who share your enthusiasm. Some noteworthy writing, as well, such as: Lightning traveled through the thunderheads that stood like a rank of oncoming soldiers across the southern expanse stretching from the still dark west to the predawn east. I love that line.
James Ron a surfer! Cowabunga! I just love it when you reveal yet another facet of yourself from the past. This was another gnarly story, Dude! Great!.
Thank you, Sharron. I knew you would be thoroughly familiar with all things surfing. It was great fun. Would that I could have spent my surfing days on the California coast.
Toes on the nose, you Big Kahuna! ha ha ha... those were the days. And remember, my friend, "The best surfer out there is the one having the most fun!" A metaphor for life in general
There’s something magical about returning to the beach you visited in childhood! Really beautiful piece James!
Hi, Caroline. Thank you very much! We can leave home but home doesn't go away. We all have those special places to return to.

Thank you, K.C. Coming from you, I really do value your reading and response!
I can picture every moment of it. Great memoir Ron.
Thank you, Jim. I miss the big thunderstorms and lightning the most.

I kept thinking - oh, the good ole days. But then transitioned to - and oh, the wonderful new days. Thanks James
