If you have ever wondered if surfing is really all that great I direct you to the following article in today's NYT: Endless Winter.
I was reading the article and thinking to myself "ooooh totally. I am SO getting out there..." Folks, that's just how great it is. That an otherwise normal, relatively intelligent woman would consider voluntarily spending hours in the atlantic ocean in february speaks volumes. Unfortunately my abs are a big tub o' goo since pregnancy (not to mention my other atrophied muscles like arms and legs) so I have my work cut out for me before I get back in the water.
By the way - since it has come to my attention that some people are actually reading this blog I was going to mention that you can comment on posts. Then I thought, "maybe they are..." and LO AND BEHOLD my public has spoken! Thank you for the comments and feel free to write more. Just click on the "Comments" link below any post and use the form to leave a note.
just caught up on your input today...hadn't read it since my last comment. i'm loving it, dear, aging/ageless daughter-in-law! i'm learning about you in ways that i haven't known before. i had a conversation this morning after my workout class with an exercise compadre that causes me to appreciate and love you even more. why? she asks! this lady has a horrific relationship with her d-in-law and my heart really aches for her. i told her how truly blessed i (we) feel that you and matthew 'found' each other and that you are now a part of our family. i told her how i look forward to our getting to know each other better, more intimately. i also told her i would do anything and everything needed to keep our relationship warm, loving and comfortable....qualities that she said her relationship lacked. so thank you, alana, for being in my life, our life, our family. may we grow OLD together.
