GP2K1 - Shaken but not stirred

OK,

Everyone has heard by now that the Tory House was pulled off the market by the owners (who are also the owners of the Cape Hatteras Motel.) According to the desk clerk, drunken rowdies were trashing the place a little too much (and us drunken rowdies didn't even get our shot at it...damn!)

Anyway, this morning I committed to another

If this is the case they shouldn't refer to themselves as 'surfers'.

There is some winsdom in some words falling from the PNW.

You Guys Are Awesome!

Team Good Vibrations, is how I think of you all!!

Thank You For All You Are Doing,

Sincerely & See You There,

I will be there Friday night, maybe in time for an afternoon session. I, like others, am juggling a schedule around ('like a real surfer' someone said), probably not by Thursday night pre-GP. You will be matched up with Steve 'the Mind' M for some warm-up foosball matches.

Your pre-GP scouting tasks include surveying for working sandbar peaks.

Ahhh...this could be true. But then again, anyone who is planning on meeting up with a bunch of ASers for some planned, coordinated, agenda-ized, etc festivity instead of just striking out on their own shouldn't refer to themselves as 'surfers' either, right? Damned if ya do, damned if ya don't.

I think I'll just go, just surf, not worry about the labels, and be blessed if I do, blessed if I don't. ....*and* call myself a surfer....or not.

Just surf.

Later,

It's a distant second best.

OK. Accidently delete your daytimer. Modern software technology can be tricky at times...

*at least* I can say I don't have a daytimer. Not even a writen one, much less a computerized one.

And I tell ya what, it may be idealist thinking, but the only reason I wouldn't chuck any aspect of planning in a sec a go surf anywhere anytime is that I now teach. Responsiblity for myself? Nah. Responsibility for family? Most of the time, nah. Responsibility to try and convince 160+ kids they can surf *and* get a sense of self-responsibility and endless opportunity if they put their mind to it? Yeah, I take that one seriously.

I won't teach 'em how to live off the welfare system, though. =:o

Losing the Tory House this late in the season was a splinter in the toe, but the Planning Committee jumped on the problem like rabid jackals (ok, mildly agitated feral cats) and came up with what may prove to be a stunning recovery. I'm reminded by something Strayhorn said recently, calling Lighthouse point 'Fighthouse Point' due to the crowds. We've learned in years past that sometimes the best waves are not where we expect. Being located in Avon may give us a central location to send out surfsearch parties both North and South, then by use of cellphones we can communicate what we know to others('No surf here Sarge, you might as well stay where you are. What's that? The pounding sound in the background? Nah, just someone washing his car. Seeya later.'

Though I still believe much activity will occur down in Buxton, afterall Finnegans has Guinness I hear,the foosball challenge matches have to take place somewhere and D2 has her surf salon there, I do believe Avon will offer some new and unique opportunities to enhance the GP experience (Avon pier, 6 person hot tub, boat rentals).

Major props to Rodino Rodgers (R2) who will get the golden Pentium I processor chip for being the king of the speadsheet and GP2k1 datajunky. We will all have to (yes, that means you Sarge) give up one good wave to King Paipo for his efforts.

SEE YA ON THE OBX, GUIDOS!!

You're the man! For sure on Friday night.
