Two On The Shore

The title is for Tischer and I being back on the shore of Lake Superior and stoked for adventure from our new home in Grand Marais, Minn. We are Two on The Shore.

You can find me at Lutsen Resort as their new Director of Activities & Recreation, a role that I am extremely excited about.

This winter is shaping up to be a busy one between some freelance writing opportunities, an adventure film to work on, and a stream skiing project I've undertaken with another buddy.

Also check out the kayak expedition I completed with a good friend in 2010 (www.superiordream.com).

The List

I spent this afternoon at the Ford dealership in Sandy waiting for the Red Ranger to get her teeth cleaned.  In addition to getting caught up local TV news, I also read a story about the worlds fascination with list-making.  You know, other than the 10 Commandments, lists have really started serving as an organizational tool more recently.  You see lists everywhere-top 10's being the most famous.  

I closed the magazine and looked at the scrap of paper on my lap. Yes, I am no different.   And so, in the spirit of list making, here is my list of things I need or want to accomplish in the next 5 days, compiled at Suburban Ford Inc of Sandy, OR.  
Roughly:

-make a sleeping bag for Tischer (sew an old bag I found in the woods into 2 smaller versions)
-resize a shirt (sewing machine)
-resize a pair of pants (sewing machine)
-finish my winter love story, romantic lodging and dining stories for Mt Hood Magazine
-write an Alfresco Bum post (or two)
-finish design for free standing bouldering cave 
-5 mile run in portland with T
-30+ min snowshoe run by this weekend at 75%
-skijor with T once
-ski (if the rain stops-I don't ski in rain)
-finish Reed winter camping trip logistics
-finish purpose statement for Superior Dreams
-drink 3 Hamm's
-do push ups while watching Frasier episodes

Well I did better than 50%. A weak showing I know, but some other more interesting and compelling things jumped into the mix in the last 5 days. For instance an all night ping pong session and some live music of friends up at Meadows. From the list:

-almost done with the sleeping bag, just need to finish hemming one edge of the opening (broken needle)
-No on the shirt
-Yes on the pants
-working on the stories right now, deadline is Thur
-No AF posts sadly
-almost done with design
-Yes to the Ptown run
-Yes to the snowshoe run (2 actually!)
-No skijoring, still haven't gotten a harness (phone tag with my supplier)
-Yes to the skiing
-No to trip logistics
-Yes to SD purpose statement
-Yes to 3 Hamm's, among others...
-Yes to push ups while I finished watching the final episode of Frasier (I just spent the last 2 months watching all 11 seasons...!)

Perhaps I need another list now...
