a fond farewell to Lise - April 10 9:00

dare I say this is her Swan Song

I’m planning a short, 2 hour paddle to bid Lise farewell as she heads back to the land of Grizzly Bears and perma frost… OK, not quite that far north, but the Grizzlys are real, I saw their foot prints

When: April 10, 9:00AM
Where: Burlington Beach
What: 2 hour paddle, weather permitting
And then: visit to a local eatery, Lise is looking into an Indian Buffet

Remember, the water is still cold so proper gear is a must.

Farewell paddle

Hmmm, I think I'll come to this one!!

Swan Songs

Orlando Gibbons set this to music in 1612. Alas, it is a five-part madrigal so I will not be able to sing it for you next Sunday:

The Silver Swan who, living, had no note,
When death approach'd, unlock'd her silent throat.
Leaning her breast against the reedy shore,
Thus sung her first and last, And sung no more:
"Farewell all joys, O death come close mine eyes.
More geese than swans now live, more fools than wise."

I shall do my best to be there.

MY GRRRL, sniffle, IS, sniffle, GOING...SNIFFLE

"Seems we just get started and before we know it, comes the time we have to say so long!" -Carol Burnett

Alas, it's NOT part of a 5-part madrigal but it DID end the show every night AND I just might sing it for ya!!!

I'll be there!!!

Sunday Paddle

Count me in.

I've really missed the opportunity this winter to paddle with enough crazy people. We just had too much snow and I couldn't seem to pass on the great opportunities to ski.

Lise, I'm really sorry I can't make this one but I wish you a fond farewell and I hope we will see you down here again soon!

Farewell

Thanks Tom,

I'm looking forward to finishing my paddle and showing it off to folks in Thunder Bay!

it is so on!

Just checked the weather. Tonight, clear, winds light. Sunday morning becoming cloudy with 60% chance of rain and T-storms in the afternoon... good thing this is a morning paddle

Re: a fond farewell to Lise - April 10 9:00

My apologies but unfortunately I will be unable to attend.
Lise, have a great paddle and I hope to see you, in person, soon either back down here or up there. xoxo
