No angel could replace
Nancy, with the laughing face – frank sinatra

So what did I do today? Staff meeting at Rutabaga. So we’ve kicked off the new season in style. Even paddled a bit too! Because of all my symposium dates in June I actually only teach one day at the shop for the month. So in honor of a new season at Rutabaga in Madison, WI. I just thought I’d share a picture of Nancy Saulsbury our glorious “Rutabaga Outdoor Programs” Leader. One time a couple months ago Nancy asked, “What do you have to do to get on his blog anyway? Well, being within 15 feet of my camera is probably the main requirement! ( I won’t share the rude option Mary came up with.)
Oh, and happy birthday JB who now claims to be 37!

    Thank Derrick and Mary!

    Not a day over 35 by how I act some days. . .make that 18 the way I act some days.

    Just finished with dinner and sitting for a nice conversation with Oz (my wife of 35+ years) so I guess that means I was married at a really, REALLY young age–ah the terrible 2′s.

    My headache has subsided a bit, still owe SC a paper, but I may just have to wait until I get up in the morning to finish it.

    Thanks again for the well wishes, and I gave “your” boat a love pat when putting away my Romany tonight.

    Cheers!
