Sunrises, sunsets, kayaking and other adventures
... for old times' sake. Got to spend a week in Sydney last week for work, so I got in the weekend before to meet up with friends. As usual, when the weather cooperates, I just had to get out on the water for a spot of kayaking. Garry, Bridget and Natalie joined me for …
Writing a look back on the past year hadn't crossed my mind this time, not to mention my complete overlooking of the fact that another decade had just flashed by.

Our friends Garry and Linh tied the knot last weekend in Sydney. It was the perfect excuse to make the trip back for a visit. Just a long weekend, coming right off the heels from our Greenland vacation. As always, we jumped on the chance to hit the water for a spot of kayaking. Just …
