Awww, that's too bad, but you're right about resting an injury, especially a bad sprain. As for laying off the whiskey... naw, let it flow.

and when seeing them doesn't work? i need a resolution! ha ha! i want to know what else you were going to say! i am very intrigued that i am not the only person that feels and/or acts this way.

Yes, horses are scary!!!!!!!!!!

I think picking up neo's slack could be some pour soul's full time job! Thanks for the haiku!!

i 100% believe in ghosts! i lived in a house that was haunted by a little girl. i saw her ofetn, but she was completely harmless. i always wondered what happened to her though. so unfortunate. she moved stuff around, like things would move in air, but it was no big deal. creepy, though.

Ghosts? Naw, but I'll give you a definitive answer once I crawl out from under my bed because something scared the shit out of me. Thanks for the kind words about my journal entry. I read and watch whatever interests me, so yes, I read some "conservative" media, and I watch Fox News. But I hate the notion that media is "liberal" or "conservative." I think it's bullshit. Take 2000; if the media were "liberal" do you think Bush would have gotten off as easy as he did? I know Gore won the popular vote, but Bush killed him in the way he was covered. Early on many in the media made fun of Bush for his not knowing certain world leaders and his seeming overall stupidity, but after a while, they fawned all over him... because they smelled a winner. I think the media runs to whoever spins it the best. Now having said that, I'd be naive to think that everyone in the media is without bias, but I think overall it's become a crutch and an easy way for a politician to dismiss an arguement they don't like. "Well, you in the liberal media always say..." I was a newspaper reporter for 10+ years and a journalist for more than 15 years... and I never let anyone get away with calling me liberal or conservative. I prided myself on accuracy, fairness and objectivity (might not have always succeeded, but that's another story, LOL!). Funny story: I was interviewing a local politician about a partisan issue and he asked me what I thought about it. I told him I didn't have an opinion on it because that wouldn't be fair... yada yada yada. He laughed and said he knew I was fair, he had checked my voter registration and saw that I was a registered unaffiliated voter. The guy went to City Hall to check the voter registration of the reporters covering his party. That gave me pause.

on the missippi? didn't that stink, we hang out on the bluff by Summit, and man it stank the other night

I was just tooling around the site and searched for folks with "kayak" in their profile, not really expecting to find anyone.

If there was a canoe/kayak group, I would certainly join. I doubt there are a ton of members here with our hobby, but at least no one will be a lilly-dipper on the threads

I pretty much kayak solo too. My only reliable partner went and moved to Spain. There are some decent coastal paddles in southern California where I live, but the coast is so developed here . . . the best coastal kayaking in CA is in the northern part of the state. I've been out there just once, near Mendocino. There are awesome sea caves there.

I see wild life in the city all the time. all pretty close to my house. We have a family of raccoons that live somewhere nearby because they are always in my alley at 5 a.m. returning from their late night foraging. About a month ago a deer jumped over me while I was riding home from Darkjuans, beautiful and terrifying at the same time. Also seen beavers, many deer, one animal I couldnt identify but part of the weasal family I would guess and only once a fox. Little tiny thing, I guess I always thought they were a little bigger.

Of course I remember you. Hope to see you out at one of the events again soon. Unfortunately I havent gotten out much lately, partly because of the broken wrist, which I broke that night after we were all at the C.C. Club. Cant bike, so transportation options are reduced. Have fun with the kayaking. Sounds like a lot of fun.

Sweet! Thanks. How's your summer been?

Yes, CT born and bred. A reformed preppy. Skippered a Swift Boat and I'm the son of a mill work... sorry, just got done watching the Democratic Convention. I love the East Coast, though I've only driven through Delaware. My summer's been a bit frustrating because I'm currently unemployed. And, I prefer fall and winter to summer, but I've tried to stay busy, which mostly means hitting the gym and drinking beer (hmmmm, those two kinda cancel each other out, LOL!)

all pictures taken from now until 11:59pm on Friday should be veiwed by myself.

i will rent that movie and make sure to buy a nice throw at Target with a matching pillow to help comfort me through the rollercoaster of emotions that will take over me.

Thanks for the birthday wishes! Hope you had a great weekend.

Richard Bresnahan came to speak at the Minneapolis Insitute of Arts. I went to see him and he was totally amazing and interesting. I decided that one of the things I was going to do before I turn 40 is make a nice clay cup set!

I dug on that website...yous guys are awesome with the V-dubs...super pimpin.

work it bus girl... im anxious to see your end product.

I was just at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Liked it and found a new appreciation for Singer. Rothko is cool, but the best painting I ever saw in person was the van Eyck's "Arnolfini..." in London.
