Do you have any far out, probably never going to happen, type dreams? I think I have a beach gene somewhere in my blood. Although I have never surfed my dream job would be to own a surf shop on the beach. I would hang out all day and enjoy the surf and sun. I might even continue my cartooning from right inside the surf shop.

The photo above is my first visit to the California coast. I was walking along Pismo Beach watching two surfers preparing to ride the waves. Hot Wife and I took a trip from LA up the coast to the wine country north of San Francisco for a family wedding.

I have to admit I was a bit shocked by how cold the water actually was. I think I would need to set up shop a little further south or maybe even across the country in Florida.

Anyway, that's my "pipe" dream. LOL. So watch for a Shaggy Duck Surf Shop coming to a beach near you one of these days. You might see a sneaker wearing cartoonist working on a Mac while swinging in a hammock.
