ready, set. . . .

Your dream’s in a suitcase…face to the wind
That moment is over…and so it begins
You’ve got a long way to go
Such a long way to go

Well, I’m just about packed. Tomorrow at around 4:30 am I’ll head out to the interstate and head south to Chicago for the Windy City Symposium. You know, I can never say “Windy city” without a giggle. I should grow up!!
So tomorrow I will be working with Bonnie Perry for a rolling class and then Saturday we have a traditional paddling class for the day. Bonnie is in charge. . . (big time) Sunday, it’s Wind and Waves, followed by a tour of the urban canyon LOL!
As you can see the Trak is going with me. I think my little baby will go on the tour. It would be fun to take for wind and waves. Just crank that rocker up and look like an expert! LOL!! Also in my piles of kit are my many paddles. You may see the beat wooden paddle with duct tape all over it. This is the one I use for headstands. Why?? Well if you see my poor Beale paddle you’d know why! Frankly I never liked the Sawyer much as it weighs a ton, but it’s great for my antics and the tape keeps it from getting gouged up on the combing.
Yikes 9pm! I have to finish packing! See you in Chicago!!

I know you will have a great trip!
Cheers,
