Hello my friends and welcome to the Robcast.

This is episode 200 and 56th and it's called a hymn for the curve.

Now here's how committed I am to this episode.

I think about these things. I make all my notes. I carry them around with me and then often

I'll go out surfing before I record because the drive there, no music, no radio pocket,

I see anything like that like silence and then surfing and then drive home.

It's like just hours where it all gradually starts to find its place. Then I come home and I hit record

like I just did and away we go. This episode is so deep in me that I just a couple hours ago,

I go down to the water. I stand there for a second. I set my board down on the sand

in order. The wetsuit that I wear this time of year has like this flap that you put over top of

your head and then you zip it across the top of your chest and I usually leave it undone until

right before I get into the water. I get right to the water line, set my board down, put the go to

put the flap over top of my head and I can't get it around and I'm like what is the what?

And I realize that I've put my wetsuit on backwards. Now let me give you a bit of context.

I started wearing wetsuits. Well this would have been growing up in Michigan for water skiing because

the goal was how late in the year and how early in the year, how soon after the ice, the last bit

of ice left the lake could you get out there and start skiing. So I probably started in high school

wearing a wetsuit. So that's like 32 years. I don't think I've ever put a wetsuit on backwards.

Are you feeling me on this? Rob cast friends? This is the level of commitment to this episode. I put

a wetsuit on backwards. At that point, I'm not that deep in thought about this. So then it's like do

you go back to the car or there's actually like a bathroom way up on the beach, walk back across

the sand or do I just get in? So I was like you know what? Let's see what we would learn by surfing
