What?!? Didn’t you look at the Google Doodle for today?
Many of you might not know this about me, but I once owned a surfboard. Yes, I was a “surfer dude.”
OK not really, I owned a surfboard, when I was in fourth grade, but I never actually went surfing. When my dad moved the family to Los Angeles one of the first memories I had was of him taking us to a surf shop and buying my brother and I each a surfboard. I guess so we could fit in or feel a part of the community, or whatever. I think I tried to stand up on the thing once. Take it out where gnarly surf is? The Pacific Ocean is cold, and I was a skinny kid without much blubber to help keep me warm. Also I was a wimp, and the swimming pool was water was nice and warm without stuff living in it
