Went to a friend's funeral yesterday. The place was absolutely packed, standing room only. It was sad, but it was also great to see that he had touched so many lives in his 31 years of life. After the funeral there was a get together at a local park and it was great to see so many people I have seen in ages. It was like having a high school reunion of sorts for about 10 years worth of graduating classes. After the memorial everybody made their way to the local bar for drinking and dancing. Today we have a memorial paddle out for him at noon. It's sucks that it takes someone dying to get all of these people back together, but it's also a way for all of us to come together to celebrate his life.

i was up in m.b. and caucous today, we went up to see my mom. it was a beautiful day and just being by the water makes me happy (weird since we live by in a beach town!). it was funny to read about your trip up there after just getting back! trip out that you mentioned avila because that's my old stomping ground. i say my hometown is s.l.o. because more people know where that is but i lived in a canyon just outside avila until i was 16. me, my brothers and our friends have spent so much time in the water there and i don't ever remember any shark attacks. it seems like the eco-system there is all whacked out since avila was "re-vamped". it's so strange for me to go there now...
