June Update

Hello friends,

It's been a long month, mostly spent inside. I went on a canoe trip for memorial day.

I had a run in or rather a confrontation with the truth while there, I am too fat. Oh yeah that doctor told me years ago Im obese yeah its true... :(
My girlfriend and I attempted to ride together we chose the fat bottomed canoe thinking it would be more stable... instead I made it pop a wheelie and my friends stiffness at riding so high made us very tipsy.. we went over twice within a quarter of a mile.. I thought about sitting in the middle to balance the weight so we tried it.. and then I realized if the canoe tipped again I would be trapped under the bar, so we made the decision at the same time that we couldnt make it safely so we walked back up stream, telling two kayakers on the way to tell our friends downstream we turned back.

We went to camp and waited for them, it was nice to get outside but I really havent been outside much since.
Other than the visit with two of my grandkids, I went down and picked up the two of my sons a 3 yr old and a 2 year old and came back on the bus. It seems that my son and his girlfriend have now split up, I was pretty sure when she had him arrested that it was her way of taking him out of the picture for the next boyfriend to move in.. so my visit with the little ones will most likely be the last one for a while.

So what to do about it being summer and locking myself in this dark apartment.. I'm shutting off my internet and forcing myself to go back out in the world. It's the best thing I can do for myself. I'll have to go to coffee shops again to get online and maybe I'll get some excercise and start taking photographs again.. Til next time Peace and good health.. Shell
