The Waiting Game

I first learned about the Waiting Game at the age of 10.  At first it felt a torture but then I realized that it was just another game - kind of like who can hold their breath longer!

So here is the game:  All summer long, you windsurf on old equipment to make sure that you are getting better and that you are interested in the sport.  At the end of the summer, your parents take you into a store full of used windsurfing gear (for a windsurfer that store is much better than a candy store).  You pick you gear - bright colors, all in great conditions...  Then you bring the equipment home, into your bedroom and you watch it, touch it, dream about it for about 9 months!  At the end of 9 months, you strap it on your car and drive for about 10 hours to finally put it in the water.  

Now how does our Waiting Game relates to the picture below? Well...  Our waiting game built the necessary patience that we needed over the last 1 month!  After a hectic year of: putting our old place on the market, moving into a shoe box, spending 6 months worth of weekends at open-homes, putting total of 11 offers, finally getting the acceptance on the last offer, letting the sellers live in the house for an additional month - WE NOW HAVE THE KEYS!  If it wouldn't be for the Waiting Game, I think this last bit of the wait would have been miserable!

 

So yet again... WINDSURFING - thank you for keeping us sane even though in a normal person's eye you make sure to make us look INSANE!

Our new address is: 528 Lawton Street, San Francisco, CA 94122 :)

See you all in our new place!
