My priority list is:
- kayak
- bike
- learn Spanish
- read more books
- chores around house
I have also been asked to teach 2 seminars at the U of M on bridge design using prestressed concrete beams. I am mulling over this proposal.
I have 2 kayaks, a 12 footer and a 15 footer. When I paddle on local stream I use the 12' kayak because it is easier to handle. With considerable practise I have mastered the J stroke using a canoe paddle. I prefer a canoe paddle because of its light weight and I think it puts less strain on the joints. Presently am using a carbon fiber bent shaft paddle that weighs ounces. I also use the paddle backwards of its intended use. I just tell the purists that it is easier for an old man.
I am rambling too much. Heading outside for a 3 mile walk.

I have to tell you I appreciate how you start with the weather. My grandmother used to journal everyday until she just was unable to and she always wrote down the weather. I got my love for journaling from her and am so glad to have a blog for that reason (as my hand writing sucks).

chores around the house - how domestic of you dad :) The teaching gig sounds like a good thing - way to go Prof Bob. DS
If you decide you need more chores to do, I also have a house here in DC. :-)
