Forgive my indecision
Then again, then again, then again
You’re always first when
No one’s on your side – Incubus
1. Wisconsin should not be confused for Australia. The water is frozen, We have no sharks, and the beaches are peaceful. But, we do have Kangaroos.

2. If there were only one thing I could tell a first time paddler before they get in a kayak, it would be, “The long side of the paddle blade goes up!”
3. I kept planning to do a new Christmas list. But I think last years holds up pretty well.

4. I’m sick of clouds. Tired of grey. There’s been no sun for days. I feel fat. Fatter? I need a break. I’m really tired of the treadmill.
5. I had a conversation about paddling next season. I want to take a journey. I don’t know where. I don’t know with whom. I just know it has to be done.
6. The thing about reading Stephen Hawking is that it’s not so much hard to read, as it is hard to comprehend. In my living room I have a bowling ball & a sheet. . .
7. 11 is a bargain no matter what anyone says. .
8. Yesterday while in the car we were talking about Pop Rocks, Ice Cream Flavored Gum & Worms soda. I wish we still had Worms. I really, really do.
9. I often want to go off on little left leaning quasi-political rants. But I hold my tongue. It’s been said that one should not speak too often for fear of losing their voice. I’ve been feeling a little raspy lately.
10. Thank you. Good people always offer help. Even in the smallest little things.
11. (see 7)

Nigel Tufnel: The numbers all go to eleven. Look, right across the board, eleven, eleven, eleven and…
Marty DiBergi: Oh, I see. And most amps go up to ten?
Nigel Tufnel: Exactly.
Marty DiBergi: Does that mean it’s louder? Is it any louder?
Nigel Tufnel: Well, it’s one louder, isn’t it? It’s not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You’re on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you’re on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where?
Marty DiBergi: I don’t know.
Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do?
Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven.
Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder.
Marty DiBergi: Why don’t you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder?
Nigel Tufnel: [pause] These go to eleven.
For every left-leaning diatribe I’ve ever posted, there are about ten more that I didn’t bother with ’cause I’d already seen 20 other bloggers say exactly the same thing better…
