November Feels

I got to say going out into the ocean November 21 of 2014, it is mighty cold out there. It was an irritating morning, lots of chop not a lot of good shape waves. I found myself getting irritated so quickly. The cool thing about it is I was able to catch a couple of waves I eased off my irritation a little bit and finally got into a rhythm. After that I decided I'd catch one more get out and head down south. And now it's 70° out in November. I don't exactly understand what's going on with the weather. I doubt that the majority of the world actually knows. All I can say is that this is not normal this is possibly detrimental to our ecosystem. As much as we enjoy 70° weather in November, I would prefer some colder times. I want to wear my pea coat. Here's to the snow, ice cold beer, and those beautiful jackets that make women look so wonderful in the winter time.

My type of cold

Sometimes we take the cold to mean sad and sorrowful times, where in reality it is a time when we get to sit close to the fire, drink coffee, warm up under the blanket, eat good food, and warm our hearts with the presences of the people loved the most. These cold times are a coming, but as long as you can drive that sadness, from lack of sunlight, away, nothing can touch the memories and bonds made in the cold. Yes, daylight lessens and night time hours increase, but we reminisce on stories from the past, stupid things we  have done with friends, even fabulous successes that never really saw light of day, because of your immersion in them at any given point in time. The cold gives us a time to step back from ourselves and out of ourselves and really get a look at what we have accomplished and the people we have surrounded ourselves with. Don't get me wrong, summer is fantastic and the beaches are always a pleasure, but getting warm around the bonfire with a nice beer, a few of your best mates, and some fun girls to keep conversation interesting, that is what I look forward to with the  coming of cold times, damn right.
