Re: [Paddlewise] Journaling

Andree, et al:
I hate bringing along electronic stuff on my "escapes from the modern
world" journeys, but I find I am a very poor physical writer. I have a hard
time with paper. I have pieces of log books, note pads, stick-it notes,
etc, all over the place (kayak and none kayak related). The electronic
medium, for better or for worse, is slowly helping to keep me organized
(and spell better).

I may come across on Paddlewise as kind of macho, but I'm really just a fun
loving guy who enjoys mother nature in all her splendor and moods. There is
an esthetic appeal paddling year round in a variety of conditions. When I'm
on the water, the moments are so vivid, like I'll never forget them. But
one does to some degree. Keeping a journal or log book or whatever you want
to call it, will assist me in my feeble old age (along with the pictures I
keep), to relive the moments and voyages of my very personal outward and
inward discoveries. I'll use whatever medium I need to to achieve that goal.
