Now I Notice The Wind

There is a lot of bad news in the world and sometimes I just need a break from writing about that stuff. So this week, nothing about terror, high gas prices, global warming or anything else disturbing. After living on Dewart Lake for the past 17 years or so, I have taken up a new hobby - windsurfing. Some people call it sailboarding.Some people just call it sailing. Anyway, it's basically a surfboard with a mast and a sail attached to the middle. It has straps on the back that you put your feet into. I know what you're thinking.Sounds like kind of a dumb hobby. Well, I don't know. Sure, one could say that standing on a floating board, hanging on to a sail and being pushed or pulled around a lake by the wind is kind of lame. I've heard people say that about guys in sailboats.
