A short update. I have the flu. Its hard to kayak into winds blowing from the China sea when you have a fever. Wiley got attacked by an eel and is in Avalon getting sutured up. Christine, the BSA Directors wife of 3 years just died after being thrown from a horse about a week ago. She’s been in the ICU at Long Beach in a coma. The funeral is Monday. I’ve gained 14 pounds since been in CA. Tuesday while kayaking, a mother Fin Whale and a juvenile surfaced in the middle of a group of 40 kayaking kids. I proceeded to chase them throughout the cove. Its pretty rare to see them so close to the island. It was one of the best things to happen this week. I did my first PC of a 86 student school Monday through Wednesday. I had 2 Code Reds and 1 Code Brown in last weeks Wednesday to Friday group. Right now I’m taking Nyquil and going to bed.

This is currently what I do for a living...
