I have absolutely no idea whether the interview went well or not. I hate uncertainty. # Since Richmond is now competing with Marin for title of Massive Sewage Dumper, it’s another day with no paddling. # Powered by Twitter Tools.

Contemplating an absolute 180 career change, at the recommendation of someone I seriously respect. # Kayaking for the day postponed again, not for weather, alas, but for this: http://cbs5.com/local/bay.sewage.spill.2.937517.html # #hundredpushups and #twohundredsitups done. Cause, y’know, no kayaking. Grrrrrr. # oh yeah, and they didn’t mention that the spill happened on a flood. So it [...]
