It was a hot and steamy night. I had kept having visions of the house as Salvador Dali would have painted it. My clocks were oozing down the walls like the trunk of a strangely over endowed elephant. The most comfortable place to sleep was on the floor surrounded by fans. (no, not the rockstar type fans. . . . one could only hope. . . .) I was sleeping quite well until there was a tug at my foot. I tried to ignore it. . tug. . . . . tug. . . . I rubbed my eyes and looked to see Lizzie our black lab. Instantly she saw I was awake and walked on top of me and stared down at me from above. . Slurrrrrrrrrrrp! Time to get up!!! “Ok, already” I said. I sat up and put my arms around her as she sat in and leaned against me. We sat there in a quiet house watching the clocks melt together for a few moments. Then I got up and put her outside. . . It’s going to be another hot one.

I was flipping through the new issue of paddler magazine. My eyes still almost to blurry to read. . I read a small bit about Roz Savage. .” Roz has a plan to row from San Francisco to Australia in a time frame of 3 months. . In part she said. . “I sat down and wrote my obituary. . Twice. The first was how It would read if I carried on as I was. The second was what I actually wanted it to say. . .That’s when I knew it was time for a change.” Yeah, Roz. . I understand you. Good luck! Be sure to take time to visit her website and say, “HI”.

Well, I’m back from the symposium in Washburn and I think it might take a day or two to get my head back on straight. As always it was a good time. Yesterday our final rolling class was stopped by lightning and we had to call it an early day. To bad too, cuz I was sure we were going to have another new roller. All we needed was another 10 minutes!

Watch here the next couple days. I have some pics from Hadas and Tomer that arrived while I was gone. . I’ve got info about an exciting new DVD coming out and a few more tidbits as well. Now I’ve got to try to get my eyes unstuck so I can get some work done!

Happy Monday, and as always Thanks for stopping by! I may not always mention it but I certainly owe all of you guys a lot for your readership and support over the years. THANK YOU!

Now, how do you get melted clock out of the carpeting?
