Just Fun!

Between the time I thought of writing this note and actually sitting down to write it, I forgot what I was going to write about.

Ahhhh....old age

OK I remember....

I pride myself on being different.

There was a time when a bunch of us, my neighbours, Christine and her boyfriend John, and Big Wave Dave was one of my neighbours, booked a trip down the Thompson River on a rafting adventure. From Spences Bridge to Lytton. What a hoot that was.

Big Wave Dave worked the rafts for Kumsheen Whitewater Adventures, and got us all a special deal - half the price and twice the fun.

We had this huge raft full of people from all over the place, and when the raft trip commenced from Spences Bridge, the river was fairly calm and the rafting guide talked about the river and how to survive if we happened to tip...and then asked each of us to introduce ourselves and talk a little about who we were and what we did. I was sitting at the very back of the raft at this point, and he started with the person beside me and went around the boat in the other direction, saying, ok and you are ??....
Well - everyone said their names and what they did for a living - everyone.

When it finally came around to my turn, I stood up in the raft and said " My name is sandy-hawk walk in bog-deer stalking-friend of the coyote - and I love all the little animals" What a fucking riot! Everyone was in stitches and Christine, sitting beside me was about to die from laughing so hard.

God, I love to have fun!.
