How I did it: I tried zip-lining in the forests outside of Chaing-Mai on the “Flight of the Gibbon” tour. We are getting fit with our harnesses and I hear a woman raise her voice “Not on my daughter!!!” as one of the guides said “Well, let me get the duct-tape to fix her harness.” He was kidding but the woman seemingly didn’t have much of a sense of humor. We pile back into the min-van and drive to the beginning of the zip-line. Our guide int… Read how I did it…
How I did it: Meese, because there were two we stumbled upon while I was riding horses with my children just outside Glacier National Park in Montana. The horses started acting all freaked out, their eyes rolling in fear. We saw why very shortly. It was a moose and her calf, standing slightly uphill just 15 feet away. I was so thankful we didn't come between her and her baby and we got out of there quickly. Amazing sight, they are so gangly, huge, dang… Read how I did it…
How I did it: A Learning to Meditate story OR The Great Escape (or Where the heck is Steve Mcqueen and that Motorcycle when you need it? ) After Bangkok I went to Ayutthaya for a couple days and caught the midnight train to Chiang Mai.

This was one that I ignored forever. I went through every file folder and decided if I truly needed the documents inside for anything ever again and either throw it away or shred it. I went through 2 crammed full drawers and am very pleased to say that I threw things out that I had no real idea why I even had them anymore but were kept just in case. Did I really need the 2005 carpal tunnel paperwork? Noooo. If it wasn’t needed for a) taxes b) employment or c) sentimental reasons, it is out of here.
I went kayaking and it was so fun! Easy and a good work out. We kayaked across the bay and back, stopping for lunch half way. It was single kayak so I didn’t have to worry about matching strokes with the more experienced person I was with. I definitely want to do this again but being in the north I will probably wait for warmer weather.
