Death by Canoe

[loradona]

My roommate Red (well, former roommate, now that I'm living back at home) has this adventurous dad who does cool adventure-y things (gosh, aren't you in awe of my mad writing skillz?  I know I am).  And before I left lovely southern Oregon, he was determined to make me adventurous.  So they decided to take me down the Umpqua River in a Tahiti Kayak

This is an awesome story! Also, it's oddly akin to what happened to my brother whilst he was rafting (or perhaps canoeing, I know not) as a scout. I'm so glad everything turned out okay. My brother, who swims about as well as I do (read:not very well), was pinned under the water against the tree. I'm lucky to still have him.

Now I must snark. "The River and it's accomplice the Tree"?! Glory be! It's a misplaced apostrophe!

Oh, hush, you! This is why peer review is an important part of the process. (Oh, and it's fixed now, okay?)

D'you know what? The playfully grouchy tone of your response warms my heart. Oh I miss friends with whom I can really connect, be my real self, and get together spontaneously.

I'm glad you took my response in the spirit in which it was intended! I love banter (but sometimes the internet makes banter sound like jerkiness). Let's be friends!
