Suzy:
- Even if you're not in a particularly smiley mood, when you walk in the sea and get splashed by a bellybutton-high wave that you didn't see coming, the only thing for you to do is laugh really loud and open your eyes and mouth really big. And it feels like you're six again.
- You know all the songs they sang in the '60s about seeing animals and shapes leaping in the surf / sea foam and you thought it was just an acid trip? Nope, it's all true.
- The sea is way more interesting than most people you'll ever meet. Especially girls. Think about it.
- "Undertow" may be a cool name for a Tool album, but that's nuthin'. Just wait until the sea is angry enough to push you on your face while trying to steal your toes at the same time.
- You can't call yourself a real stone-skipper until you've launched one (in a single bounce!) over a 4 1/2 ft. wave.
- If you draw a spiral in the sand and the sea comes and washes away half of it, you're left with perfect concentric circles, but you can only see half of them. Which is a better metaphor for what you were thinking about anyway.

Don't forget when you make fun of how slow people run on Baywatch and then try to do it yourself, only to last one mile before passing out.
Tips for surviving a strong undertow:
*Swim down as far as possible, and swim with the current. Don't fight to get back to shore. The water will eventually bring you full circle to where you were.
*Stay in the damn boat.
*Grow gills.
That's in no order of feasibility.
Besos!
I agree with all the comments you made in your blog about the ocean, as well as yours too ashlee.
I just need to defend myself by saying last time I read the blog I, you know, took care of myself, thinking greg was talking. Well it turns out suzy was talking and it made me feel really uncomfortable. I just wanted to avoid that in the future.
ohhh it sounds so beautiful!! we miss you guys!
