Wow, I almost forgot all about this!!! I was hanging with Kaesen for quite a while on Saturday night in the casino in Reno. I was busting on him for all his reckless posts on WakeWorld in the past. So he pulls out his Blackberry and starts posting right there at the bar. That's just crazy technology.
I also told him the story about how me and two buddies spent Spring Break at his dad's (water ski legend Mike Suyderhoud) Shasta water ski camp about 17 years ago. It was windy all week, so we ended up leaving early and he said that we could come back at a later date and make up those days. We never made it back, so Kaesen called his dad right there (about 10:00) and asked him if he remembered it. His dad was quick to reply that the deal expired after 15 years!
Funny stuff!
Not sure how all the slapping started, but I'm pretty sure Shelby Kantar was at the leading edge of it. I'd never met her before, but I found out that she's quite a firecracker when I was introduced to her when she slapped me in the face out of nowhere for no particular reason. She's a nutty one, so be careful with her!
