Out and about… Canandaigua Lake, NY

Wakesurfing is what wakeboarders do when bored. Wakesurfing involves a slow-moving boat which creates a large rolling wave thereby providing an appropriate place to “surf” without having to actually drive to an ocean.
Out and about… Conklin Gully, NY

My friend Kathy has an elephant on her ankle. If you look at it upside down it vaguely looks like Richard Nixon in his “I’m not a crook” pose. And before you ask, the only time I’ve ever seen it upside down was when I took the above photo… jeez.
Out and About… Cleveland, OH

This weekend I couchsurfed for the first time (www.couchsurfing.org). I’ve always felt that you can best experience a city or country by staying with someone who actually lives there, and this site makes it very easy. After sending a few email requests, I found myself watching Roller Derby and partying with my new friend Svetlana and her roommates in Cleveland. Sveta has hosted several couchsurfers and couchsurfed herself for 2 weeks in Scotland.
