Murphy's Law of Random Perversity
1. Left to themselves - all things go from bad to worse.
2. Anything that can go wrong - will go wrong.
3. If there is a possibility of several things going wrong - the one that will go wrong is the one that will do the most damage.
4. If you play with a thing long enough - you will surely break it.
5. If everything appears to be going well - you have obviously overlooked something.
6. Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.
7. Mother nature is a bitch.

Reunion

There we stood, leaned, or sat. Grey heads, white heads, bald heads, the wheelchair bound, the sick, the lame, the crotchety.
Our class looked a little like a MASH unit for seniors.
Children of the 50's, now arthritic rock and rollers.YIKES!
But what a comforting feeling walking into a gathering full of old friends. We had all paraded through the same slice of life and had lots of shared experiences. Some of us looked good, some were worse for wear. Some still had bright and dancing eyes, some dull and listless.
But we had a wonderful time catching up.
Great to see everyone.
Great to feel the camaraderie.
Great reunion!

Gently down the stream...

The sun broke through the clouds as we arrived at our launch point on the Yellow Breeches Creek at Messiah College last Sunday morning. The creek flows out of the South Mountains in Pennsylvania then snakes east and north to the Susquehanna River. I don't know if it's true but the story goes that during the Revolutionary War, when the British soldiers wearing their white breeches crossed the creek they became stained from the yellow tint of the water. And so the name Yellow Breeches Creek.
Our kayaking stretch is nearly as pristine as when the Susquehannock and Shawnee Indians paddled the creek centuries ago. But, I'm sure the Indians didn't have as much fun and probably weren't filled with the exhilaration that we were. We're escaping from a crazy and stressful world; going from digital back to analog. The Indians were just fishing for a living in a strictly analog world.
The feeling on the water is one of peaceful exhilaration. We enter another world for a short time. We go where the current takes us, flowing in perfect harmony with the world around us, quietly moving with the rhythms of nature.
The experience, and it's highly recommended as an annual medicinal, is good for mind, body, and soul.
