The thing that I used to hate the most about the outdoors was failing at something. In kayaking that means – in the beginning at least – taking a swim out of your boat. Which is annoying more than anything at beginners level. But the thing is: Someone has to rescue you, you’re not as […]
I think it should be pretty easy to avoid being a dick, Shouldn’t it? Yet somehow it just happens. Despite my best intentions, there is it. But I’m getting better over time, me thinks.
Don’t tell anyone. Well, you can tell my wife, she knows. She’s okay with my secret affair of the heart. I have a man crush on Dwayne the Rock Johnson. You see … Not only does he have a grand smile,
