Philosophy/humor combination, I hope?

Necklace of Shells… Worn about the neck, Denoting my surfer heritage, Never known I would have to give it up, For fear of being paralyzed by spinal pain on my last trek… I sit on the shore and dream of past waves, Storms coming up the coast, thinking we might go to our graves, Still I do for one ride crave, Guess though, now that pain I have felt, this surfer must behave… Just one more ride, That’s all I ask, In fact that’s all I ever did ask, In the glow of that wave and my pride, I will for eternity bask… © ed ~ 8/24/05

Giving up one last ride, that is what I did long ago. Gave up riding carnival rides, gave up jogging, gave up tennis, gave up sex, gave up lots I did not want to give up. I like this cause it has to do with the ocean. Be patient I am slowly reading more of your wonderful living writes.

Just one more ride,
That’s all I ask

Then go for it, DW! What are you waiting for? Life's too short to check out without going for all the gusto you can get.

The ultimate rush, the final wave, the last crashing hurrah. Hang ten Ed...go for it.

Growing up alone is not so bad...

Alone in life...

Memories I am Unable to Forget...

To wish for death...

I find it interesting that only in the wee hours of the morning is when I find myself able to write anymore... <br>

Rain, thunder & lightning, oh my...

Hey, I think I might have found a little humor...?

...NEAT...
