All show no go. Given my phone number to both of them. So far nada. So have to get back to you later on this.

Offer to take them both out on a perfectly innocent date.The novelty alone might peak their interest.

Just a thought.

I see a bit more of a sparkle in the eyes of the one on the right.

That girl on the right is 23. It would help if I was 22 again like here in Laguna Beach.

Laguna Beach... I used to go down to Thousand Steps Beach in S, Laguna back when it was private. We would go at night and jump the fence and camp on the beach. In the morning everyone assumed we were supposed to be there.

But as for your photo, I was assuming you were student in Thailand. :)

And it was nothing like this back then. The steps were rough and primitive. And there was no growth around it. It was treacherous going down those steps at night. They have really fixed it up now. But they had to when it became public.

Sneaking in at night, we had to wait for the water to go out long enough to get around the cliff. Again that could be a bit treacherous. But it was worth it. There is nothing like body surfing in the moonlight at midnight. And see the outline of a face in the rock. You can just make it out from this angle. I can still remember lying there at night and looking at that face. I LOVED that place.

The photo of the blond and me was taken on Victoria beach approx in front of my grandparents house with the green roof. (postcard)* .And myself near rocks in postcard with speared fish. * The post card pre dates the photo of myself and blond. There is another beach house built next grandparents house.
Long story but grandparents house was moved half a lot North.

Very cool! I grew up in Southern California, Long Beach in particular, and pretty much lived at the beach in the summer - Seal Beach, Huntington Beach, and then Thousand Steps. What made Thousand Steps beach particularly cool was the cove. It was shaped in such a way that about every third or fourth wave, you would get a reflected wave coming from the forward-left meeting an incoming wave from the forward-right. If you could position yourself where they meet, you had a choice to go left or right. And because it was additive the peak could be nearly twice as high as a single wave alone.

But you always had to be careful at Laguna. The sharp shoreline made for shore breaks that could throw you on the sand - what we called neck breakers. And then you had to be careful about not drifting into the rocks. I had many amazing rides in Laguna but it was often a bit dicey. And body surfing at night was crazy! There were times you couldn't really see the dark wave moving against the dark background. You had to do it by feel and sound. If you got hammered it was always a little creepy tumbling underwater in total darkness.

GREAT MEMORIES!

Thousand Steps Beach. But as I said, this was all still jagged cliffs and primitive rock steps with a guard shack at the top back then. It was still a private beach.

Funny! I was reading about the history of stainless steel when I saw this photo . I had that exact knife when I was a kid. It was my camping and backpacking knife. I lost it many years ago during a move.

Very sad, there was just a big oil spill a few miles off the coast from Huntington Beach. Huntington Beach is already getting hit hard. Not sure how far it is expected to spread.

Just heard Newport Beach is hit.

It's a burden we just have to bear.

My first kiss was under a pig. Top that!

Her name was Donna. We were both in our prime - she was 4, I was 4 and a half.
