Sunrise, Sunset
It's a little strange watching the sun rise as your own sun sets. Well, I guess it's all the same sun. What I mean is, I'm watching the webcast of the Billabong Pro, J-Bay and it's 7am there, 7 pm here. The sun is tired of hanging out here in Hawaii, it wants to watch the contest too. But even now as it sets, shadows growing longer in my corner of the world, it's getting lighter on my webcast, South Africa demanding all attention. So I'll give it that, my attention I mean. Although I'm sure it's a heck of a lot more grateful to have the sun as a spectator than me.
