Thank you for a lovely break in a day too dreary to haul the boat an hour up the road to the usual Wed. paddle. It was a bit like looking at that deer crossing the road in the park last night. I've never seen a deer in this park in the 40+ years I've lived in this area. Stunning! We won't go into deer in urban parks, just be thankful for the moment of beauty it offered me after 14 hours of work. That is why I sneak a moment here and there to glance at my list mail while at work. As far as Dr. Peregrine Inverbon, Ph.d., DD, LL.d, Ph.G, President, Genuine Canadian Ballast Rock LTD. (TM) goes, he is going to get me into big trouble trying to explain the frequency with which I either fall out of my chair or sound like someone is strangling a duck in my cubicle. I have no idea how to explain Canadian ballast rocks to the simple, nonpaddling folk who share my space. Even my screensaver of a paddler doing a chine turn scares some of them. Maybe it is the extreme brace that scares them, either way, a few tend to pale as they rush by. Those noises just cause them to walk 350 degrees the other way around the building to avoid my cubicle. They have told me they DON'T want to know what would cause such sounds out of the art department. All they want is a cup of coffee. Thanks to all the poets, pundits, those aspiring to profundity, and each person who contributes to these lists. Even when cranky, you are a blessing.
