So we've effectively decided upon the canoe. It's going to be a mite pricey, but comparable to the cost of driving out to Invermere and back again with a canoe and trailer. 

The fundraiser last friday was an incredible success! We had over a hundred people, some incredible music and... well.. there were some magicians up there at one point. I didn't see them, but I'm pretty sure they did something with lemons. A good time was had by me. (and hopefully all)
 Now comes the hard part, figuring out what to do next. We have a line on two canoes, but they both need some work to make them awesome enough to hold us. Issue #1: Both are buried in many feet of snow.  Issue #2: One is located in Invermere B.C. Issue #3: Canoes are big. 
Who knows what crazy schemes we'll come up with?  I can't say much, but one of them involves harnessing the power of geese. Just think about that.

On another note,  I'm starting a daily blog of historical facts and quotes weird or insane enough to be historical fiction. Have a look at the Blogs page for "Ridiculous History".

This desk is empty. Nothing on it but a few years worth of scratched initials, the owners of which are as forgotten as the initials themselves. G
