I’m always meeting cool and interesting people, like this surfer dude I met yesterday morning down at Venice Beach (name withheld, just in case he’d rather not be named).  He’s been surfing here, pretty much everyday, since 1982, and he had some great stories about sharks and dolphins, as you might imagine.  You could tell from talking to him, and from the gleam in his eyes, that he he was really passionate about the surfing lifestyle and that he would not likely trade that for anything.  Talking to him kind of reminded me of Patrick Swayze’s surfer/philosopher character, Bohdi, in the very cool “surfer movie” from way back in 1991, Point Break.  If you have not seen it, it’s worth seeing.
