I fish...

A husband and wife go to a counselor after 15 years of marriage counselor asks them what the problem is and the wife goes into a tirade listing every problem they have ever had in the 15 years they've been married. She goes on and on and on.

Finally, the counselor gets up, walks around the desk, embraces thewife and kisses her passionately. The woman shuts up and sits quietly in a daze. The counselor turns to the husband and says, "This is what your wife needs at least three times a week. Can you do this?"

The husband thinks for a moment and replies, "Well, I can drop her off here on Mondays and Wednesdays, but on Fridays, I fish."

What's new in System.Xml 2.0? by Aaron Skonnard

There is a great article on Service Station by Aaron Skonnard titled "What's new in System.Xml 2.0?". It is another well written article by Aaron with clear/simple examples. I dig his articles.

The surfing has picked up a bit


Bob, Karl, Erick and I have been getting some nice rides just before and after low tide. It was flat as lake when we all first arrived. Things are looking up. WaveWatch reported 4ft swells yesterday from buoy readings and we all had great surfing. Although it has flattened out a bit for the next couple of days, it looks big for Sunday/Monday.

Fished for Stripers off the beach

I tried to fish for stripers tonight just before dinner. No luck yet but a few guys were catching fish just down the beach using spinning gear with mackerel and clams as bait. The shorebreak was pretty high so I was fighting that and wasn't getting out very far. I'll try again in the rocks.
