Vini, vidi, pererravi

[Anne Dykstra <Tzolelet@AOL.COM>]

Nina, I don't agree with the nay-sayers.  Latin affords an infinite number of
ways to express complex ideas in English.  After all, 65% of English is based
on Latin vocabulary and concepts.

The idea of surfing is to wander, pick and choose, so I would use the verb
pererro, ---are (conjugated form pererravi= I wandered) or the verb lego,
-ere (to read) - not as colorful but more recognizable.
