Anchors Aweigh

Today was a glorious day in the great state of North Cackalackie, and I spent the afternoon kyaking on Lake Macintosh right here in the bustling metropolis of Burlington. Holly (friend I went to Ghana with) and her brother were also there. Suffice it to say that since I never learned under the excellent tutelage of Monk, my skills were sadly lacking. Holly and I shared a double kyak and could only function while back-paddling. In circles. Like Gypsy. It was rather hilarious, I'm sure. We eventually drifted quite near a neighboring county and backpaddled our way back, singing the Dixie Chicks' "Earl Had to Die" at the top of our lungs. The good news is that we had a fabulous time and got lots of sun, but not too much.
