da beech!   (random re me)

i'm at the beach! and it's not raining like it was last year! so far, i've ran around on the beach, biked 26 miles, lugged sea kayaks out to the beach (OW.), and many other things.

the sea kayaking was fun, but the first time i tried it, the boat had water in it (which nobody realized) so every little move i made was exaggerated and i would tip over every few seconds. while this was undoubtedly hilarious for everyone watching, i quickly tired of it. but i did it ok today (the second time i tried it), so that's good.

there are many good pictures of everyone on the trip, which i will post when i'm not sharing a modem connection with everyone else.
get back to work, you!
