Everyone I meet down the Pub thinks I'm some brilliant businessman forging and empire.
They see me engaged in my work, deep in thought and driving ahead.
They comment, your the guy who always works.
The chick bartenders whisper they wish their husbands we 1/2 as ambitious.
They know what I want, pour before I ask and are happy to be part of my insane drive.
They just don't realize I'm Freepin'
...and yes it takes immense concentration and a great sense of humor.
Love FreeRepublic!
Class of '98.
Where in the world can you find this amazing of a group of INDEPENDENT thinkers?
We disagree, we demand sources, we fight, we laugh, and at the end of the day we live for the Truth and the preservation of our FREE REPUBLIC.
Love you all! JFM Michigan
How’s that ski-jumping hobby workin’ out?
Great post, ‘98 classmate! I often get the same reaction.
I flew hang gliders for 10 years in San Diego.
Stored my glider at Torrey Pines Glider Port, lived in Del Mar and every Buick Torrey Open we would take to the cliff to try to get on TV.
Torrey Rats Rule!
I’m such a Noob.
-Class of 2011.
The best feeling in the world in your 5, 10, 15 and 20 year reunion!
Working?
Always, Working.
Never waiting to be told what to think.
Never the last to see them Blink.
Always on and until the End.
Our Free Republic,
We will Defend.
Monthly is the way to go.
I got a pub like that. Sit at the bar and don’t even have to say hi, and my beverage shows up. I got the AirPods in (Rush is on) and I’m FReep’n on the phone.
Yup hard at work.
Yes. That was a long time ago. I was younger then and needed the money.
Oh my - how the time flies. Rock on Class of 98. (1898!)
Love Eddie Would go. He’s a super legend in the isles
His story of swimming miles in the ocean to save people is legendary in Hawaii
My funny story along these lines is my phone
The company in LA tracks us at jobs via the phone up here in SF
Ok I said.
So my phone is very diligent and works long hours in electrical rooms
Me ? Well let’s just say I might be out riding my mtn bike ;) Hee hee
No one ever calls me anyway I’m too “philly “ for them
Hee hee hee
Lived in Del Mar 1957-1958. Went to Del Mar Union School. Loved that town back then.
I lived in apartments where the South 101 split to the Ocean drive in. The one bedroom with the tile floor was amazing.
Jeep Wrangler with a bikini top and a lift kit - doors off.
Up and down the 101.
Charmed life. in my 20s/30s
Eddie Akai was painted on a wall in a Rocket Wraps shop in Cardiff by the Sea CA.
I went there often.
I looked him up an said - perfect!
My moniker came from that moment.
The 01 was because Eddie was taken.
Akai or Aikau?

Growing up in Huntington Beach I fondly remember the bust of Duke Kahanamoku displayed in the roundabout at the base of the pier.
Both men were legendary.
Best to you for many more years to come - - from another ‘98. Freep on...
Exactly. How embarrassing.
