2002 Overview

Word
2002. Pope took over the site from Tim sometime in April but didn't actually begin to re-start the reports until October. A mini summer wrap-up was written though. For that check out my Summer of 2002 Wrap-up. A bad year for the stock market but a good year for surfing, 2002 saw a pretty week spring and early summer but a fun late summer/early fall and so far a fun winter.
