Argh, typed the whole message but it posted empty. Fricken google
groups suck!

Low quality pix, gf's camera is only 2.0 MP and 3X zoom.

I go to Brooklyn to visit her about ten days per month.

Cool to surf a new spot!

Dear Kook,

I think both (all 4) posts worked.

Those pics and my current non-surfing lifestyle make me miss NY.

Gimme a break, Google Groups sucks! Google is Kooky.

It has been good here and in New England for the past few months. Got
some more head-high glass at Rockaway yesterday. I got a few decent
pix, which I'll put up on my site.

I'll wish you an upswing in your surfing time.

ASKOTY is clearly down to 2 entries - the kooks who dropped out, or
the slackards who are still around. Sad to say, Usenet is really on
its last legs.

It might be a while. We're due with twins in May.

I'll have 4 kids, 3 and under next summer.

ouch.

damn, I have a chance! Maybe Craig K and I win it together for having
the only AS points awarded in 2009, then maybe drop Craig K since
I think you have to post on AS to win ASKOTY, true?

I went out Turkey Day for a sweet session at Santa Cruz eastside with
an SC local. Surf was big, bigger than I could handle at a couple of my
other spots so I ran away from it and got some great long rides.

At this place, the big sets closed out, but the tweeners bounced off a wall
to give long long lefts which I was happy to take advantage of.

Nice Thanksgiving sessiion! That week is always good here, without fail
for as far back as I can remember.

For example, last Monday the 23rd was excellent in NYC!

Mike G.'s office is only a few miles away from here and maybe we can
score some points! Two more candidates?
