    Had a LONG game of Ultimate last night. It was so long, we had to cap the score at 13 instead of 15. Sadly, the score was 11 - 12 in their favor when we made that decision, so we ended up with fewer points than the other team. But we sure had fun, and that's really all that matters.

    Seriously! Ultimate is AWESOME.

    I amazed myself at how much faster I am now. I could keep up with some of the younger players for a change, and I even made a couple DEEP cuts where I was open and my defender couldn't catch me.

    Worst part was one guy running in to me, and then me accidentally kicking his cleat with my shin. I didn't notice it had opened me up, and I played the next point. When I came out, I realized I needed to visit the first aid kit so I didn't risk contaminating anyone else, though I don't have any bloodborne disease. I think the blood stain will come out of my sock.

    So sad there's just three weeks left in Spring League. We have a fun team. Summer League starts pretty quick after that, and I'm looking forward to seeing old friends again and recruiting some more.

    Yay!

    I can't tell if the deciduous trees are alder or birch... or maybe something else. The conifers look like they could be Doug-fir. Where on the planet are you?

    They're birch trees and spruce trees.
    I am in Northern Ontario, Canada.

    I'm in Ottawa for now... I suspect retirement will see me move elsewhere... eastward...

    It’s a great stretch of water, close to home. Family of six bald eagles, ducks, falcons. Lots of nature. Paddling meditation at it’s best.

    I had to guess Ontario since it's three times farther to Vancouver than to Montreal. But WHERE in Ontario? Probably not Toronto. I couldn't read the last sign, but it looked like the first word was "Naturally." I searched for Rock Island Lodge, and it came up along with Naturally Superior Adventures, and that fits. Northeast shore of Lake Superior. That has to be a wonderful place. Let' go!

    That is the theme here, and it was a great trip. Thanks for letting me share. I'll be wanting to go back soon.... But alas, the permits are so hard to get. I might see about going over to do the very lowest reach of that river system and into the Snake late summer or early fall. HUGE sand beaches, but way too many yellowjackets. I also think maybe a quick 3-day to the Deschutes would be fun, and maybe I can swing that in especially if I throw back one or both Rogue River permits I have for September and October.

    Speaking of Central Texas, I'm currently building a house in Horseshoe Bay, overlooking the resort...

    Went on a fishing trip last Saturday. That is the departure point - the Walter's Ferry boat ramp on the Snake River.

    Throwing some darts at the atlatl range at Celebration Park south of Melba. Takes some (lots of) practice. Respect for the natives who survived in that desert 13000 years ago.
