Writing Club is NOT on!

I'm out in Pitt this week. Unless any of you feel like travelling three hours for an hour long writing club, I am cancelling this week. It will be back on in two weeks.

Back from Burma...

And still not dead.

But I did just walk over the Bridge on the River Kwai. And you can bet I whistled that silly song while I did it.

Corporate Dragon Boat Team is Short FIVE THREE PEOPLE

Hey guys, I seriously need five two MORE people to commit to dragon boating (three if Lee & Mariko make the leap over the fence).

My work is short 12 people, but between the group of us, have managed to compile 7 10 (thanks Mariko, Lee, Mike, Graeme & Brendan). No, I don't need to get all of them for the company, but I think I can do my best. Some of you aren't on facebook, so I didn't get a chance to invite you there.

We're practicing 3 times in 5 weeks time before enterting the Alcan Dragon Boat Festival's competition (pfffft). This will all wrap up after the festival on June 16th.

Please, please, please join. Without you there will be no team. And that will make me very sad.

Practices will be evenings & weekends; ideally, you can commit to any time so as to create as few scheduling conflicts as possible, but I am sure some shifting will have to occur.

Pretty please?

(begging is so not becoming of me).

New fun!

Yesterday I went dragon boating with my work. It was as much fun as I expected (I really do enjoy being on the water) and it looks like my company is putting together a corporate team for the Alcan Dragon Boat Festival. I asked to join, let's see if they let me.

You kids know me, I am a wimp and a half! But my team came in second and for first timers, our team was at the upper novice, lower recreational team times. It was wicked awesome totally cool fun.


And now, to the point: Dragon Zone, for the month of May, on Sundays has $2 lessons at 2pm (all equipment included!). I'm going to leave Chinee foo at 1pm on the dot to make sure I can get into this. I'm going to try to make it out every weekend (it's a great deal compared to the season rates they charge), and if there is enough interest from Clubhousers, we might be able to even get a recreational team going. How awesome* would that be!?

So, I'm getting to Chinee Foo at 11:45am and ordering the tofu, the green onion cakes, & mushroom fried rice. Anyone interested in dragon boating on Sunday with me is more than welcome to come. If you can't make it this weekend, and you're interested in going later this month, give me a holla'! I'm also going to set up a Clubhouse series of events on facebook.


*unrealistic.
