First kayak adventure of the season

June 22, 2022

So the happy day arrived; Mr. Ken and I were all set to go kayaking. In deference to my shoulder injury and to us getting older in general, Mr. Ken bought a nifty new kayak rack system. With this new system, you only have to lift the kayak to about hip height, place it on […]

It’s kayak time!

June 15, 2022

Oh happy day! It’s time to start kayaking. We lost last year since I was recovering from shoulder surgery. It was a bit stop and go this year since Mr. Ken broke his wrist a few months ago. But, we are good to go now and I can’t wait. Here they are! All ready to […]

The adventures of Sir Oliver

September 8, 2021

Even though Mr. Ken and I have been stuck in the house for 20 months, our dear Sir Oliver has been busy with lots of adventures. Happy 2nd Birthday! It was two years ago September 4 when Sir Oliver joined us from Buckingham Palace. Here he is celebrating with a balloon and a cupcake. Gone […]

Random thoughts while kayaking

September 16, 2020

Kayaking is my “happy place” these days. When we are out on the water, life seems almost normal. We were out the other day and even though it was a cloudy, cool day, it was still good. There was some sunshine in the distance so I was going to write a deep, serious blog post […]

Donut days

June 10, 2020

So our dear Mr. Ken managed to really hurt his shoulder, so we have to take a rest from kayaking for a while. We are both bummed since when we are out on the water, life seems almost normal. But, better to be safe than sorry. Since we are still sheltering at home, there is […]

Scenes from a Memorial Day paddle

May 27, 2020

I am happy since we got to go out kayaking last weekend. It was a glorious sunny day, with perfect temperatures. Kayakying is always my “happy place,” but it is especially so this year. When I’m out on the water, life seems almost normal. There are no worries about coronavirus or anything else. We saw […]

Kayaking!

May 20, 2020

It’s that time of year again and boy am I ready for it. It’s kayaking time! We store our kayaks (all 4 of them) in the basement over the winter. It is quite the production getting them up the bulk head and into the garage. Hah, it seems to get harder and harder each year. […]

What inspires you?

July 17, 2019

Now that I am semi-retired, I have a lot more time on my hands for reflection. My latest thoughts are around inspiration. As most of you know, I am very involved in my grad school alumni volunteer organization, HBS CAP. We do pro-bono consulting for Boston area non-profits. During June and July we are busy […]
