three sick kids. Many deadlines. Much work. Total wipeout. # A small, small gap in the overwhelm, promptly filled with sick children. # Finally, a napping child. That’s one. The other two are having Bionicle battles. They must be feeling better. # Powered by Twitter Tools.

I’d paddle in the rain, were I using a boat with a skirt. Alas. Time to get my own darned boat instead of borrowing everyone else’s. #kayak # Powered by Twitter Tools.
