Dude shoulda been more careful...

I hate lightning.... I mean really hate it.  I came across this grave marker in northern Vermont.  What more can I say?

Swim, Swim, Swim...

A few weeks ago I flew from Minnesota and my friend Kay flew from Maryland and we met in Vermont to participate in an event called the "Kingdom Swim".  Kay swam 6 miles in a gigantic glacial lake called "Lake Memphremagog" that is on the border of Vermont and Canada.  I kayaked next to her and guided her around the bouys and made sure she was safe and also gave her food and water as needed.  It was a great trip with many adventures along the way.  Here is my favorite picture of Kay during the swim.  This is at about Mile 4.  The water was rough and our spirits were high!
