Since I first became infatuated with Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) last year, I've sought out opportunities to indulge my urge to be on the water paddling to my heart's content. In July I had a great time in my hometown with friends tooling around the lake on a windy afternoon in kayaks and on board. … Continue reading Whassup, Cape Cod!
Vacationing with Jeter
The older I grow, the more I know how short life is. It's going to sound silly but no one in my life illustrates this point to me more than Jeter.

Last night I finally got back on the path for my 4th run in the summer series. I swear my skipping a few weeks was completely unrelated to the challenge of Thacher Park!
