One bright morning, I woke up and decided to go down to the beach. It was 10:30 a.m. and there was a green flag waving in the air. I knew right then and there that it would be a good day to surf. The waves were going to be just right with the wind blowing and everything. I put my swimsuit on really quick. I rushed down to the beach before it got busy.

escape my embarrassment as well as another vacant and redundant scenario I already know too well. I grabbed a half-emptied wine bottle on my way out that must have been part of the catering. I try to laugh, too, now, or at least to get drunk. The fresh air is compromised by the drizzle, the wine feels acidic in my throat, and instead of bringing haze, it demands honesty: I can still get drunk on two sips, my hair is about to melt into clammy dreadlocks, I cannot wear any clothes that would show…

Then I got to my job site and I climbed all the way to the top. I was 1,345 feet in the air. I had a crew member who had a serious problem with drugs. He had come to work that day stoned.
