have a great time running the full-marathon in the calgary stampede roadrace 2006 (read all 2 entries…)
between the general apathy i’ve felt in this department since returning to calgary, and the staunch refusal of my knees to co-operate, i’m slotting this one for next year.
wow! and i thought i was in trouble trying to get to all the places above land that i want to see. now three quarters more of the planet has opened up.
had the time of my life scuba diving off pemba island in the indian ocean. http://www.swahilidivers.com were terrific.
above is a shot of my instructor pat and i on the boat on the way back to shore after a day of diving.
