Neural Surfer: A Diary

The Neural Surfer Diary is an intimate look at waves, philosophy, science, religion, and other personal matters. It covers the period from 1999 to 2001 and contains Professor David Christopher Lane's ruminations on a variety of topics.

From the Introduction: "wish I could admit to being as frank and as disarming as Errol Flynn was in his wonderful memoir, My Wicked, Wicked Ways, but alas I don't have such courage. Whereas Flynn was willing to show many sides of his octagonal character (to crib one of his more insightful metaphors), I have tended to show merely two or three window panes into my soul. As for the other parts, I have consciously left them opaque. I don't think writing, as such, is an honest adventure. I think rather it is way to create (or in this instance "re-create") a narrative that can somehow make sense out of the twists and turns of one's often random course through life.
