Week 5:   See week 4.  More of that.

I have to admit that my procrastination with social media and other general correspondence hit all time highs this past week.  I think it’s a function of actually approaching a state of mental relaxation. More great family time at the lake, supplemented by visits from friends, has helped me tune out the real world. 

Passing the day with plenty of sun (>35C), wine (red, white, pink), and boating (not necessarily in that order).  So much so that I haven’t even ridden my mountain bike or swung my golf clubs that I hauled out here.  And somehow I also still haven’t knocked off much more than a chapter of the book I’ve been reading for about a year now…  I may actually have moved from a state of procrastination to abject laziness.

Sadly, the sun is now setting on our family summer vacation time at the lake.  Back to Calgary to prepare for our greatest family outdoor adventure yet:  a 3-day canoe trip down the Kootenay river this coming weekend! 

I earned my “Intermediate” canoeing badge (with distinction) at summer camp in 1986 so this should be no problem for me.  It’s the rest of the family I’m concerned about.  Granted, we’ve taken one group lesson a few weeks ago, which I think should be fine for navigating the class 3 rapids…  I expect there will be ample content to blog about next week.

PS:  For those wondering about the results of our family 360 degree wakesurf spin competition, the race is still wide open.  The new board didn’t help.  Even hired a “wakesurf coach”.  No luck yet.  Next I may have to get a new boat…
