An Update

Hey All,

My friend Megan recently mentioned that I haven't posted anything up here in a while. My apologies. I've been busy... and lazy.

The school year is over as of a month ago and I am thrilled by that. It's been a good summer so far. I've moved into an old Victorian house with a few of my friends for the summer. One of my roomates, Max, is a very good cook and I often benefit from his talents.

I've been getting better at the harmonica as well. Last week Max complimented my progress and last night one of my other roomates, Nick, did as well. I'm glad to know that my playing is not bothersome.

I am still very pumped about my prospects as a sports journalist. My mom bought me a subscription to Sports Illustrated for my birthday - my first issue will arrive at the end of this month. The other day I signed up for a sports writing class in the fall. Once I take that I'll be able to freelance sports articles.

I've been shooting hoops a lot lately and just staying active. A few days ago Max and I bought an old skiff, dinghy if you will, for $100. It's an old girl at age 30 and has sailed on such waters as the St. Lawrence Seaway and Lake Mead. Sadly, she doesn't have a name although Max and I are set on calling her the St. Lawrence. We need to give her a new paint job. I figure I'll paint her up like an old liner from the glory days of sea travel. The bottom of the hull up to the water line will be red, the bulk of the hull will be black. Along the top of the hull will be white and seperating the black from the white will be a thin strip of gold. The ship's name will be painted in gold on the bow and stern with Whitewater also in gold beneath the ships name on the stern.

Attached is an image of the paint scheme.

I will post again soon, I hope.
