Surf Lessons with Chris
Well, it's past midnight on Saturday, and I just woke up from a 3+ hour nap. For those of you haven't figured it out, I took a nap past "the point of no return", and burned myself for it.

I Can't Cry
It's been a bit over a month since my LASIK surgery, so I thought I'd share an update.
