Making Waves... and I can't go.

On my drive home from work this afternoon, I was able to sneak peaks of Lake Erie in between the million dollar lake homes, I noticed some white caps punctuating some greenish brown rollers. At the few openings in the urban enclosure surrounding the water I was able to confirm that yes indeed there were 3 footers rolling into the shore, churning up the surf and making plenty of noise. After an instant spike of adrenaline my next thought was that I have to pack up my 14.5" Perception Carolina and get out for some early fall Yak surfing. I wondered if all my gear was accessible, how cold the water was and then not caring about temperature, and how I was going to explain to my wife where I would be at for next two hours.

Then I was yanked back to reality as I remembered that Tuesday night is soccer night. Two practices, two different fields, divide up four kids between two parents and... no 3 foot rollers for me. I guess there is always next time.
