Quick and Dirty

My life has been pretty busy lately and I have been meaning to blog again and again. So here are the news, briefly:
- We bought ourselves a light touring kayak at Jenda Paddlesports, close to home. The idea was to have a light boat that one person could handle singly i.e. put on the car, drive away, put in water and back. That way, we don't have to wait for everybody to feel like going at the same time. The kayak is from Wilderness Systems; it is a Tsunami 135 (not shown here, but scroll down to see the Tsunami 140 which is pretty close). It exceeds our wildest dreams - it is stable and fast and we love. We tried it a few times on those warm days we have had recently. The feeling of freedom is just awesome.
- I have a new job. It starts Sept 22 and I can't wait. I will be working on the applications designed by the previous company I worked for so I expect to be very comfortable in that environment. Plus I will be writing instructions which is a new direction I wanted to take in my career.
- We finally got a Wii Fit! We lined up at Future Shop 30 minutes before opening hour and secured a copy. Yay! Then we ran errands and so forth and were too tired to set it up by the time we got home. Go figure...
