Kayaking

So I went kayaking for the second time today; this time all by myself with no Elaine (she was studying for law exams). It was a very nice run. I will share a list of what I saw and imagined. Keep in mind, I was all by myself with no one else around. I think I kinda started scaring myself, but it was fun. Wow, I'm a dork!!

Cool Things I Saw:

Crane
Turtles
Big Woodpeckers (the size of a large crow!)
Hawk with a fish in its talons
Frog
Geese
Squirrel
Pine trees


Crazy Things I Imagined:

Small Octopus floating by
Huge Octopus on the bank (actually tree roots)
A human arm floating in the water (actually a tree branch)
A dead person in the water (actually a large tree)
Indians
Stealth fighter plane (I don't know why)
Eagle

April Snow, Sun, and Showers

Ok, I will at least leave 1 post a month. I will probably leave more over the summer (once Elaine is gone). Then I will have more time do things like: Blog, Kayak, Read, Play WarcraftIII, Go to museums in DC, Hike, and Watch old movies (Lawrence of Arabia and the Zulu movies come to mind). Anway, snow in April was weird. It was the first time the annual Dapholdile Festival of Glouster, VA had to be cancelled -- sad. The weather is finally warming up, which is awesome because I am so going kayacking in VA for the first time today! SWEET!

I feel like I am writing an email to someone. It sounds like a little summer letter I would have written to my mom while I was off at summer camp when I was 7 (I never went to summer camp, but that's how it sounds like to me). I did go to preteen camp when I was in the 6th grade. It sucked and I did not really like it at all. That was back when I was a big mama's boy. Gay. Those days are behind me now. JK. I mean, you can still call me a "mama's boy" because I'm still really close with the mother hen, but I am not as queer about it as I once was. Rabbit trail. Back on track.

So the spring weather brings out all kinds of animals and birds. They are all cool, but there is this one bird that keeps making the Nelson from the Simpsons laugh. You can picture it, right? HA, ha. Over and over and over again. Elaine said it is mocking me, and I really think it is! The flowers are pretty cool here in the spring. Sara, Elaine, adn I went to DC 2 weeks ago to see the Cherry Blossoms, but they died because of the snow the day before we could get there. I don't think I've ever really been able to appreciate spring as much as I have here in VA. Sounds gay, but it's true.

Update on America's 400th Anniversary. The Queen of England will be in town May 3-4. President Bush is going to make a speech here on May 13th. And we are going to have a concert by Bruce Hornsby and Chaka Khan. OK, so the last two people are boring and actually kinda weird.
