this is my surfing buddy scotty on tuesday morning, and that's me below, a couple of photos by christian, who himself has a very cool blog; i'll link to it when i find out the address. it is the very best way to start a day i think: a cup of coffee, drive to the beach with a friend and the windows down, then see what happens! some days there are dolphins, some days great waves, some days not. you cannot force the hand of god, or some would say the hand of nature. but, as annie dillard says "the world is full of extravagance, the least we can do is show up."
you may not believe me, but i'm telling you that tonight when i poured the ravioli into the pot to boil it, it said "hi"! this isn't alphabet soup you know, it's just pasta, or so i thought.
i suppose wierder things have happened on this planet than pasta forming letters, but this is the only wierd thing that i have seen lately, so there you go.

Enjoyed looking at your pictures and reading your thoughts!
the question is, mark, what did you say BACK to the pasta?!
thanks for the annie reminder. i love that thought.
Jodi is right. Here's one that might be appropriate for the picture:
"The whole show has been on fire from the word go. I come down to the water to cool my eyes. But everywhere I look I see fire; that which isn't flint is tinder, and the whole world sparks and flames."

So I am kinda thinking that you should have pulled out that peice of ravioli and sold it on ebay. You could have said it was from st. mark or soemthing...:)
