competition over Mission Bay Park where the S.D. kite club meets then the New Years day fly at Mariners Point, and
I must admit its really good to be home for the holidays rather than the road..... The last month and a half has really
been Ben time because I've needed to heal..... As most of you know I do give this sport and this way of life my all and
this way of life has made me pay some heavy prices health wise and unless you have traveled with me as iQuad has
you may not know that each step I take the bones in my left foot grind together and I live in terrible pain. So for Ben
2012 is a year of getting my heath back in order, I plan on eating better, smoking less , and letting both my body and
soul heal a bit rather than pushing myself to exhaustion because at the end of the year I entertained the thought of
leaving the road. So what I did was invited some good friends to come stay with me for a few days (Phil and Annie,
Monks, J.B.) then I just talked to them and then went to Hawaii alone to think and figure out what to do. So what
I came up with is "hell no I'm not done yet" but Ive also got to take better care of myself and being that we are all
in this together I thought Id share this all with you because you all out there are my Family and need to know. So
thank you all for a "GREAT 2011" and lets get the "Party Started" cause 2012 is going to be even better.... Ben
