[Paddlewise] Check more than the weather

  Saturday morning I got up early, put on my long johns, dressed quietly, and
slipped quietly into the garage to put the kayak on the truck, and proceeded
to back out into a torrential downpour. There was snow mixed with the rain,
and the wind was blowing 50 mph. I turned on the radio and discovered that the
weather would be bad throughout the day. I went back into the house, quietly
undressed, and slipped back into bed. There I cuddled up to my wife's back,
now with a different anticipation, and whispered, "The weather out there is
terrible."
My loving wife of twenty years replied, "Can you believe that idiot husband of
mine is out kayaking in that?"
