Rob and Big tell the tale of good friends

I was watching a show on MTV Called Rob and BIG and was laughing my ass off. It is the funniest show I have seen in a long time and as usual one thing leads to another so my mind starts to wandering and thinking about all the good times we share with friends. Like the trips we take to places unknown. Or with family. Recently we were informed of the passing of a good soul, we were not close because distance and circumstance dictated that we saw each other on a very infrequent basis but a friend none-the-less. The guys name was Paul and we never got to know his last name. He was the gatekeeper, caretaker, manager, and for all intents and purposes he was the Almighty , a legend in our minds keeping a firm hand on the operations of that little slice of paradise in Baja called Pete's Camp. We know he went out the way we all want to, in his sleep at Pete's where the sound of the ocean's waves lull you to the hereafter. Vaya con Dios Paul.

In all of us there is a moment or two that we wish we could relive again and again like:
your first date or maybe the first time you stood up on your surfboard or the first trip to a foreign country. I don't know about you but as I get older I tend to remember a lot of these things.
Looking back over the last few years we have witnessed a couple of memorable events like Ricardo and Alexis's wedding at the Polo field/convection oven that is the Rancho El Aguila in San Miguel. Good times... or maybe you could recall the time we actually took RDZ1 our class 9 car out for a spin in the desert just outside of Barstow, Ca and promptly tore the steering box completely off its mounting point. Ahhh good times. Then again there was that time that we shared a brief moment of fame on the Today Show with Matt Lauer, Meridith Viera and Al Roker.
Any ways you get the picture.

Live life to the fullest.
Enjoy the moment and remember this most important of all...
If your not having fun doing what your doing then you need to be doing something else
