Happy Saturday and God Bless America!
SSG Rob stopped by the Army booth and said hi, shook hands and thank you to all the men.
He bought a t-shirt from "Life Rolls On" a non-profit organization that helps people with spinal cord injuries get on with life (some even surf) It has a tiki-guy on it. Word has it that Kelly Slater (awesome male babe, best surfer ever in the whole world here) donated a big hunk of money to our step-daughter's work. She's been working all summer teaching kids to surf at a Beach Camp here in town, and the owner of the camp, as long as she can afford it, also funds a couple of buses bringing kids in from the city who don't usually get to experience the beach. Cristina has group of kids all in her charge. Surfing, body surfing, beach games, saftey lessons too-all good stuff. She cries when they go home. Yay for Kelly! They were running out of money to keep it going this summer.
Have a nice day!!

I filmed a little segment of the girls competing with the digital. It's really hard to photograph surfing, unless you've got a fast camera and a mega lens (QuickTimeFormat):

Forgot to say that I bought beach-bag size spritzer "Surf Vital" with hair conditioner from
http/www.smartgirlswhosurf.com who's motto is: work hard• have fun•be passionate
I also got a free pink bandana with their logo on it. The lady with the blue bag at the end of the video was giving out soda/beer can cozies and her card, asked me to be a guest lecturer at her design school after we talked because I did design for 11 yrs without a degree. Back in the olden days when all computers were new; screens were black and white or black and yellow! and the experienced art directors didn't know how to use a computer. LOL! It says "Dean" of the school on her business-card. Good for her! (she looked young, not even 30 yrs old yet) I might email her. Liza Jane-lecturer. How's that sound?
And SSG Rob says: He was thinking about Lee in that picture (ha!) and hope everyone is having fun, having a beer, good tunes going and emitting Co2 all over the place. The weather is great.
