Jesus.  I am embarrassed, but not humble.

The urge to write is very ephemeral for me.  It comes and goes ... mostly 
goes these days.  When I was working at a stressful job, I wrote more.  I 
think the writing was therapy for work angst.  Now, I am a happy retired 
guy, so I do not have the same degree of angst.  I suppose I should find a 
way to become less happy so I'd be inspired to write, but something seems 
wrong with that picture.

Wes Boyd, a really big guy in a small town in the Midwest, got a bunch of 
us started by promising to put our stuff up on his site, which went away. 
I think you can find some of it, sans photos, here: 
http://www.kayaktrips.net/sea-kayak/cat_paddle_tales.html

I'm there, and so is the Rev. Carter.  I hope others are lead to write 
more.  I really enjoy reading their stuff.  Thanks to the Rev., in 
particular, for his inspiration over the past decade.

Keep the faith, and use that wing paddle, if you have one!  [Mandatory 
paddling content; for Craig, too.]
