As 2014 comes to a close, I am a little bit remiss about not keeping my blog regularly updated. The primary reason is that I have been spending more time outside and less time on the computer. The result has been many fine adventures and misadventures and a very happy me.

Surf kayaking and mountain biking continue to feed my soul. Of course life is even better with friends to share it with including 2 of my favorite guys -

3 new dancing partners (boats) came into my life this year - It has been challenging and fun learning the nuances of each. Of course my favorite place to dance is in the surf.

Most days, I am content at home on the Mendocino Coast - redwood forests, rock gardens and surfzones and my garden.

Of course, I am stoked to be back home and hoping to spend most of the winter on the Mendocino Coast - surfing, mt biking, and mushroom hunting. Yes, we are having a bountiful mushroom season.

This is only a snapshot of the adventures of 2014. Thanks to all of my family, friends, and students that have shared the adventures with me in 2014. I am looking forward to many more in 2015. I enjoy writing and sharing my experiences and promise to make an effort to get my blog on in 2015.
