Thank God for Shoulders

Because if it weren't for shoulders, my arms would fall off right now. Got an invitation to go whitewater rafting down the North Fork Canyon today. way over weight? No problem. Out of shape? No problem. Haven't lifted weights since October? No problem. Haven't hit whitewater since the Big Swim on the Arkansas? No problem. Ya right.

Met Ed and Audrey and friends at Paul's place in Glacier. Water was low and clear, weather unseasonably warm. Can you say technical rafting? Great day out on the river and a chance to watch Paul, a true master, at work. A master but for one little raft-wedging and guide-swimming episode. No blood, no foul. Ed and Kyle were also hard at it in the aspiring-guide-in-training raft.

Followed up by beers and stories at Paul's. It was good to talk the river talk again. More motivation to get off my lazy ass to back up the talk again.
