This is my view from the cockpit of my little kyak on Puget Sound.

Apparently I like taking pictures with the digital camera (This was our Olympus Camedia C-5050--I now use a Konica/Minolta A-2 Dimage).

This is me "at the head-waters of an unsanitary tributary without sufficient means of locomotion." I had received a call on my cell phone, so was not paying attention momentarily when two of my teenage kids snuck up on me in the canoe & swiped my paddle.

Some people wonder why anybody would jump out of a perfectly good airplane.

Married 25 yrs with 4 kids--They THINK they are all grownup.

The dog won.

12/12/04 ... My first race ...ever... I did the 10K in Kent, WA. And have the scar tissue to prove it.

3/5/05... This was near Olympia, WA. I had planned to run the 5K, but was recovering from injured calf muscle, so I walked it with Mary. Heavy rain (sideways) but we had fun.

I have just started with Masters Swimming through the Federal Way Kings team. My first meet is set for 4/9/05 at the Federal Way Aquatics Center. I've been swimming for 48yrs, and thought I was a pretty good swimmer, but have improved immensely already.
