I went paddling yesterday afternoon. It was cold. The water was warm. I thought if I could roll and just stay under it would have been a perfect day. I tried once, but just got covered in weeds.

I tried to paddle as fast as I could with my big bad Lendal Kinetic touring paddles. I thought about how I use a wing paddle. With my arms high and my strokes wide, I tore up the lake. Well, I went along at a speed somewhat faster than my usual cadence. 6.4 according to the GPS. Not sure the Explorer wants to go much faster. Maybe it’s just my weak froggy arms.

I found a another use for my paddle float. It’s a nice mat when I want to keep my fiddly bits off the ground.

I rolled around the web and found a picture of Alex with scissors stuck in his kayak. Why is this exactly what you’d expect?? Then I saw Matthew, Roy, Jeff Bjorgo and an inflatable doll. I see, it’s training camp. Was that almost a headstand? Was that a balance Board?? Was that a Croc??? Nice Pictures. Next year at QTC they may be selling a souvenir inflatable Jeff Bjorgo Doll. After all, wouldn’t we all like a little Jeff all our own.

I never wander the beach without my Hydroskins. I don’t want to scare the natives. Must be some rule in Slovenia that says you can eat all you like and still be able to sit around without a shirt. Of course you can do that in the states too, but not usually with the same results. Over the weekend I got to work and added a few more galleries for these guys. You may have to scroll down.

I just wrote a blog about that funny feeling in your chest. Then Silbs goes and does something like this? This is the guy who said he knows when someone is not long for this world. Last time we were together he kept asking me If I was ok. . . “You look a little flushed. . .”, he said. My first thought was, he thinks I’ve had it!! So now he’s trying to push me over the edge. . . or write my epitaph. . . maybe both in one go!

Hmmm, still thinking about Anglesey. By hook or by crook! Recently, I’ve been feeling more like the crook. But that’s another story. One way or another I’m going to get moving on my BCU coaching certifications. . Then I’ll have opinions, I’ll tell you what!!

In amongst all the evil in this world there is a lot of good. But then, it could just be the magic talking! I just don’t know. . .
