We got to visit with dad today, as he is in Langley right now for work. That was nice, it was his first time out here since TJ & I moved here. Next week mom is flying out and they will both be staying with us for a few days, so I'm looking forward to that. My parents are really water people, they love being out in their boat. I got some of that from them. I love being around water, and being in water. Lately I've been appreciating the ocean again, and how lucky I feel to be able to live so close to a beach.
I have aspirations to try surfing someday. Next summer I want to start by taking paddle-surf lessons. It doesn't look too hard. TJ says it looks pretty boring, but I think it looks really peaceful, meditative, even. Just yesterday we saw people out paddle-surfing, but I didn't get a picture of it. One time we saw this guy walking down Trafalgar street in bare feet, carrying a surf board on his head. Maybe that'll be me someday! Or maybe I'll just watch movies about it. Regardless, I like having surfing in my list of aspirations.

Anyway, just being at the water is refreshing, even at the shore. I usually wear my rubber boots down to the beach, so Ares and I can tromp through seaweed or shallow tidal pools, or just the waves. Last week for a film TJ was working on we actually took off our socks and stood in the water for a few seconds....it was pretty icy! 'Till next spring, I think I'll stick to my wool socks and rubber boots.
