Teenage summer jobs.


My boys got a couple of summer jobs.
I remember my summer jobs, some of the most interesting and fun jobs went down in the summer.
I was serious enough to go every day but yet loose enough to not care.
Above is a picture of a new tattoo shop opening up just outside of Rocky Point.
The name of the shop is Tiger Shark Tatoos. A catchy name for Port Salerno.
The owners name is Mike Ridge AKA Fish.
If anyone wants bright colors and fine lines he is defenatly the man to see.

My oldest son Sam is 14 and hooked up with Mike for an apprentship.
For a 14 year old this does sound like a totally cool job, and in a few years he can be tatooing someone or something, not a bad trade to know when rolling off to college.

Ted my youngest son at 11 is a junor counsoler with Ohana Surf Shop.
Ohana is a very cool and layed back shop.
The owners are Jordon and Tara Schwartz and both are overflowing with possotive vibes and good Karma.
Ted helps the kids 5 days a week from 9-1 at surf camp.
He helps with the wave take off, skim boarding, hummping stuff up and down the beach and bunch of other stuff.
Cool stuff.
Fun stuff.
He is a very happy camper.


......We'd blister in the sun,
we couldn't wait for night to come.
To hit that sand and play some rock-n-roll......

Summer time jobs, what fond memrories.

Time is NOT on my side.

Ted says goodby to elementery school and hello to middle school.
It only seems like a year ago it was his first day on the bus.
Sam is moving on to high school.
My back is killing me, my hair is grayer by the minute.
I looked in the mirror and I didn't see a kid anymore.
WTF
