I have a mom who is alive. I am single. I like rap music. I am not in California. I am a surfer. I spend a lot of time surfing. I like fishing.  I eat a lot of spaghetti. I spend a lot of time inside. I've never read Jane Austen.
My mom is not alive. I live in California. I love to fish. I work at the power plant. I have a chevy. I like audio books, especially Jane Austen. I read on the beach.
I went fishing and caught a big salmon! Oh man! Did you keep it? Those are good eating.  Yes, of course! I actually made a spaghetti recipe with it! It was some of the best fish I've ever had. Very creative. You'll have to send it to me so I can try to make it. I haven't been fishing in awhile, I need to go again.  I absolutely will! It was fantastic. What's been keeping you from fishing? Have things been crazy at work? A bit of that, just busy with life in general. It's a great way to relax. I can put on an audio book and the day just flies by.  That's so true. I've added some Jane Austen to my audiobook playlist. Next time I go fishing, I'm putting it on! There is some really great writing and stories there. I always assumed they were just boring books people read in highschool, but then I tried them again and realized they were great.  It seems like we all hate reading the classics in high school! It's pretty cool that you keep up with your reading, even though I'm sure there are a ton of ways to get distracted living in California! Audio books certainly help. You can listen while you commute, work, take a walk, anything. I don't do a ton of reading unless I'm at the beach.  Speaking of being at the beach, have you made any progress with getting a surfboard? California is heaven for surfers! I've looked at some pawn shops and stuff. They're surprisingly expensive. I need something I can learn on.
