70 degrees in November?

Yesterday, it reached a record high of 70 degrees...on NOVEMBER 28! Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining about the warm Fall weather but it does feel a little odd. It's after Thanksgiving and Christmas decorations are making their appearance and people are walking around in shorts and t-shirts. I thought that my surf season would be over by the end of October. I'm a bit of a cold water wimp and I don't think that I can brave the cold water with a 5mm+ wetsuit, booties and a hood. I could be wrong. I could try it and totally love it. After all, surfing is supposed to be great in the winter here in New York. But with these temperatures, we've been able to extend our time in the water about a month longer than I anticipated.

Ed went out yesterday morning after dropping the kids off at school. It's the second time that he's been able to go out surfing without me. I'm jealous. I don't begrudge him the opportunity to get out and surf when he has the chance. I just want to go too. Work, sickness and a general sense of blah has been keeping me from going with him. This is usually one of my favorite times of year but lately I've been feeling bogged down and trapped by my work and overwhelmed with the holidays and other things. A bit of a post-Thanksgiving/pre-Christmas funk? All I know is that it better go away soon.
