looking down on empty streets, all she can see
are the dreams all made solid, are the dreams all made real
all of the buildings, all of those cars
were once just a dream

Now I know this is coming. I certainly watched the bit about Israel in This Is The Sea 4 (or T4 as I’ve come to call it) with some interest. Still, It’s hard to imagine paddling right next to aqueducts built sometime around 22 BCE. I’m having nightmares of getting distracted and eating rocks. Certainly some are easily distracted by Bikinis, (It’s not like I don’t notice…) but history, now that is a major distraction. For a geek like me anyway.

I’ve been more than disappointed with their customer service AND I’m not all that pleased with the durability of previous Pentax Optios. What they do well though is simply take the best photos. So what are you to do? Continue reading
we were all basically alone / despite what all his studies had shown
that what’s mistaken for closeness / is just a case of mitosis
sure fatal doses of malcontent through osmosis
and why do some show no mercy / while others are painfully shy
tell me doctor, can you quantify?
the reason why

In 2005 two teams of sea kayakers jostled to be the first to circumnavigate South Georgia Island. A “British” team consisting of Peter Bray, Nigel Dennis, Jeff Allen and Hadas Feldman (of Israel) were first to announce their intent. Up until this point “announcing” was for lack of a better word, traditional. By announcing your plans, paddlers had time to build up interest which is of course important when seeking funding for such excursions. As we all know now it also gives others an opportunity to beat you to the punch. Continue reading →
