    Good book I'm currently reading...

    I'm reading In Search of Captain Zero right now.

    I'm sure many of you have read it, and many others have not. I highly reccomend it. It parallels our feeling of skiing even though it is about the surfing life. The two are not all that different....

    I met Captain Zero and Gregory in August in Costa Rica. Haven't read the book yet.

    Slip- You should check it out, seriously. It's a good read. In reading it I find myself constantly comparing it to experiences in my life of skiing. I think you'll dig it.

    I used to drink alot of Shasta Black Cherry and I tried eating (lawn) grass once pretending it was spinach like Popeye. Does that count?
