words, words, words

I just returned from my first 1 hour roll. A sparring class in which you fight for pretty much an hour straight. Crazy. I’m really tired and sore. I tapped out 2 people though, which is a first, I’m pretty excited about that. One of them was pretty high ranking, too. So after a week and a half, I’m starting to sort of get it. I am intersted in the sport, as well. So it has been taking up a lot of my mind spcae. The day after tomorrow I go West. Which is good. I need to catch up on some emails. Sorry if I haven’t written back in a timely fashion. (I love the word “timely”; what does that word actually mean?) I am typing typing typing and making not a lot of sense.

I will be returning to California on Monday for an undisclosed period of time, (well, I’ll be back in D.C. by the beginning of February to see Susi).
I am flying into San Francisco and then going to Los Angeles (”call me!”) and then maybe down to San Diego.
I have been really getting into Jiu-Jitsu and have been going to classes daily and having my ass kicked. But it is fun! Really!
Aside from that I am not really doing a whole lot. But it is nice to have a bit of a break. Maybe though, I can find some work in California, there is GOLD there.

I thought I would put up all the information that I have about Ecuador, the “Secret Spots” and a poor surfers’ guide to surfing the Galapagos for cheap.

There is no reason to pay a lot of money to go on surf trip. I have guided surf trips in Ecuador and am going to give out all the information that I have.

On the mainland I will tell you how to get to:San Mateo: A world class left.  Montanita: A crowded right with a good barrel section on the take off.  In the Galapagos, I will tell you how to get to:Punta CarolaLa LoberiaCanyon I’ll put together some more spots as well, but this is a work in progress.

Email me if you are interested, and I’ll let you know how it progresses.

That was pretty fun. I decided to join the club and train with them. I think it will be a challenge but it was cool. Also, it was a great workout.

In keeping with my American-Aboriginal name, Runs with Scissors, I will be taking Jiu-Jitsu class tomorrow. I want to pull someone’s arm off. Grr. (Kidding, gawd!)

If you wear a cardigan you can get away with anything.

I am really excited about 2006. 2005 kind of sucked for me. And actually for a lot of people I know. This year I am going to write a book. If 2005 sucked for you, or didn’t, email me and tell me why. I’m curious.
