Kayaking on quarters


So, you remember the quarter incident right? For those with the attention span of a fruit fly or those having senior moments, someone left a bucket of quarters on my doorstep. They didn't identify themselves so after about a week, Mel headed over to coinstar and whammo, we've got cash.

So what to do with these oddly gotten gains? The answer was obvious: go kayaking.

That is just what we will do. Next month, Mel, the kids and I will be kayaking through a mangrove inlet in route to bio bay in Farjardo, Puerto Rico. On the east coast of the island, this bay is filled with bio lumincent creatures that make for one heck of a light show at night. Fun on a bun or what?

Two kayks: Mel and Reagan vs Ian and Me. Should be a pretty even race, uh, I mean adventure.

I am certain of two things:
  1. that is totally not what the quarter leaving/from card forgetting person(s) had planned for their quarters.
  2. Knowing there are 3-5 bio pros in my reader grouping, I probably got the biology wrong in describing the glowing animals in the water. Heck, I am a salesman, father, bike mechanic, blogger, soccer coach, lacrosse coach, sailor, and fake doctor; not a marine biologist. Yet. Keep it to yourselves scientists. Google is like two clicks away if I want answers.

Ian goes Punk

It, of course is my fault. You could say that about most anything. But this, this is pure genius. Yesterday, he and I were headed to get haircuts. He says, "what kind of haircut are you getting Daddy?". I give my stock answer, "mohawk". He giggles and says, "me too, we'll be twins." He is smiling ear to ear. Next comes the part where I carefully extract myself from getting said mohawk. He says, "i don't care I am getting a mohawk." I saw ok thinking Mel will never allow. She says ok.

Five minute update

Sorry, 5 is all you get today...ok at least for now. Here are the top stories from the past week: Thanksgiving. What happens when you don't see family and don't eat Turkey? Not so bad, sorry family. We had a blast watching the parade in NYC, it was a beautiful warm day. The kids and mostly Mel enjoyed the floats and balloons. We'll be back next year. You can see a slide show of the images mel took, far too many up to the right -----> Best quote at a concert, Best thing to happen to my brother in front of me, "Sir, would you buy me a beer?" -underage girl at State Radio Concert. Probably the last 18 and older show we go to. Save the security team, we were the oldest folks there... And FYI, Rob didn't buy her one, what a good guy. Then we talked about if we'll still come to these concerts if Reagan happens to go to the same one... We decided she isn't leaving the house watching some young girl crowd surf... Prickly Pear is out of the water....
