On the road again

Goin' ta Edmonton this weekend. I think I need to make an 'Awesome Road Trip Songs' MP3 mix disc. I love having a classic car with an mp3 deck. Oh yeah, I'm awesome.

Too much office work this week. I don't mind I guess, but I get pretty darn bored. On the plus side I got to catch up on a lot of stuff. Alison is coming in today to help me design the St. Bon Youth web page. I wanna get a new logo going on and stuff too, so I might hit her up for that. I'm excited... I wanna have an awesome page that youth AND youth ministers can dig into for good stuff.

So I'm going through various brochures of speakers. I'm gonna draft mine next week. I need to get the girlie to take a good portrait for me!

Fantasizing about white water so much these days. I'm seriously itchin for the season to start. I know I can hit the Kan, but it's really cold and I don't have a long suit anymore, so my knees would get REALLY cold. I'm gonna buy a dry top next month... that'll help a lot. I think I'm gonna do a lot of boogie boarding this summer. I was watching a white water show the other night and these 5 guys did a first descent down this mexican river. The big part of the trip was a 75 foot waterfall that this guy did on a river board. It's kinda like a boogie board, only thicker, and with handles and stuff. My original plan was to get good enough at kayaking to run elbow falls next summer. I still wanna do that, but I'm already quite experienced on a boogie board in the river. I figure with a season of practice this year on the kan and maybe some steep creeks around the sheep and highwood, then next summer I'll be good enough and confident enough to drop elbow falls on my board. I'll have to modify it a bit for impact and stuff, but that'll be no problem. Should probably also do some low cliff jumps with it to get used to dropping into water with it headfirst.

Anyway, thats my oh so exciting life right now!
