So what do I do over here/there?

I live in a largely asian neighbourhood close to highway 101. Living close to a hwy is not necessarily all bad – everything is quicker transportationwise. I share a three room appartment wit a lovely woman called Jessica. She sells real estate (or at least tries to…) and has a cat that hates everybody – including Jessica. The apartment shares a pool with the adjourning residences and I make good use of it. I actually start most of my mornings in it. It’s around 12 meters long, which lets me do around 25 lengths in 10 minutes

I bought a car. Not for commuting like everyone else, but for adventure and travels, which some might say are two sides of the same thing. The car is a 2002 Ford Focus (police-car blue) and a very basic version it is. No power windows, – locks or that kind of luxury. But it runs and drives like it should, and I get e good milage which is important. I can strap my surfbard to the roof with a converter rack, and head anywhere I want.

I tested the board this Saturday north of the Golden Gate Bridge in a pretty big “late summer” swell, and it didn’t go as planned. I got beat up a few times and eventually had the board (fins) cut my wetsuit and myself pretty badly. I believe that the wetsuit actually saved me a much worse fate: Both the suit and my rashguard were cut before me, so the wound would have been deeper and bigger without the suit…

Checking conditions at Rodeo Beach and getting ready to get wet!

Time to dive or get a beating!

Yesterday I went and saw The Killers play at the Shoreline Amphitheatre which was great. The next week will be more than busy than usual, as we have guests from Denmark. You can follow us at www.svtechtalk.com and www.siliconvalley.um.dk
