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 am hurting.
Saturday, January 14th, 2006Going back to … a hackneyed expression.
Thursday, January 12th, 2006I 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.
Ecuador Surf Spots and Surfing
Tuesday, January 10th, 2006I 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.
Jiu-Jitsu
Friday, January 6th, 2006That 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.
Tomorrow, bring the pain.
Thursday, January 5th, 2006In 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.

Sunday, January 1st, 2006I 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.
