I always wanted to get a tattoo, I just didn't like the idea of needles. I am a bit of a chicken with that. I have made up for that with all the needles I have gotten the past few years! Did you ever surf? I never did much that way, just boogie boarding. I do live on the coast and I watch the sufers, mostly wind surfers where I am at. Occassioally we get the big waves though. My son was born the year you graduated. The 70's were good years. ginnie
