beatriceeagleI have a kayak!
This is very good news. Years ago, when we used to lease a cottage in Florida (because it was cheaper than my dad staying in a hotel every time he went there for work), we owned a kayak, and I would take it out on the bayou. But I haven't been to Florida in years, and we ended up selling the kayak and giving up the lease, and so I haven't kayaked in a very long time.
But...I live in a city with three rivers. Kayaking is not an impossible venture here, and my sister recently moved into an apartment ten feet away from the Allegheny. So as my birthday (and Christmas) gift, my dad got me a kayak, which I used today for the first time, and which I am really. really. excited about.
Really.
(This is yet more incentive to stay in town for college. Hm. Perhaps this gift of my dad's isn't entirely selfless...)
