About Me

back from alaska and hawai'i. started the new gig. it's pretty sweet. change is nice. that's the latest.
right now, i'm freezing my ass off while working in ak. but i did score some classic ak powder, was given the good tour of alyeska by some locals, thanks t&j! next week i'll be back in my preferred setup... trunks, tee and sandals at work. in hawai'i. too bad i have to fly northworst sh!thole airlines to get there. lame.
in the summer i don't sleep much. in the winter i don't sleep much. i don't follow a schedule. well, i have a schedule, but most don't think it's a schedule. if it's fresh snow? go board. good swell? go surf. everything else comes after that... i grew up a block from the beach, but i haven't lost touch with the mountains and deserts. i'm allergic to penecillin, idiots and tourists. i love my coffee, love pasta, am a total sucker for girl scout thin mints and help lower the average age at work by a good chunk.
i get a good laugh out of the facial expressions people have when i inform them what i do. i guess some people don't want to know so much eh? and c'mon people! oceanographers don't work with whales and dolphins! that's a MARINE BIOLOGIST! our research vessels don't smell like dead fish thank you very much!
kim puts it like this:
-1 i don't know that many people who travel as much as you do
-2 i don't know anyone who can plan travel for work around races they want to go compete in
