Apparently Julie and I were on the same wavelength...here is a shot from Friday night's full moon while camping in the Gorge!

MMMmmmm...

And to further the very VERY good week I'm having. Quinn and I went to see Eddie Izzard last night on his Stripped tour. Given that Sting is getting old and forgets to shave guess who is taking his spot on my list:

More Medals

Well, this race season has been so full of surprises and the Kent, WA race was the best so far. So now I have another Silver medal!!! We were second only to Team Huge – Wasabi’s premier women’s team. Wasabi’s other long standing competitive team Power Surge took third less than a second behind us.

We've already exceeded all our goals and expectations for ourselves and are scrambling to dream of new ones. A good example I've found is to explain that our goals were to be competitive at the JV level and we've found ourselves in play at the Varsity level. Varsity isn’t quite right either because people on the team we just beat are world class paddlers with national and international experience. This is our first year!! We can be sure that they will spend the rest of the season ensuring that this does not happen again. And more teams will be out to get us. So much for spending a year or so on the hunt. We are now officially the hunted. But it feels great and was a WONDERFUL weekend of paddling.

Oh yeah. And seeing The Police the night before didn’t hurt.

King of Pain?

While my inner 14 year old was ecstatic at finally seeing The Police live it did take me a good 4 -5 songs to get over the fact that Sting’s face needed to be shorn. Seriously! Thank god I’d seen him solo before. Andy was amazing! And Stewart? Well, he still looked crazy but in a good drummer/cyclist sort of way. An excellent show with the exception of Every Breath You Take but they all totally hate that song so I understand.

Happy Independence Day
