Well, today marked the first time I've ever called in sick to go paddling. It's a bit out of character for me to do such a thing, but I did it and I feel proud for having taken control of my own life. I'm also proud that I didn't actually lie. It is true that I just finished moving and that I had to carry many heavy things. It is also true that my back was hurting... especially the second time through Buck 'n' Flush.

You are my frickin hero... for today atleast. Because, against every bit of free spirited will in my body, I filed in line at the clock like the rest of those dumb basses. Booo!!

That-a-boy!!!!!! Stick it to the man! I wish I could call in sick! I wouldnt be lying either. Sick of work! Does that count?

Dave, you maketh me proud !

To vicariously be off work and at the river in my mind, is second best to being off work and at the river

Where bouts you gonna go today ?

Soooo....

Does taking half the day-off to drive to Lee from Tulsa,paddle,B.S.,hoist
a few ,and drive back to T-Town.(note consumed were of
the weak Oklahoma variety as not to condone drinking real beer and driving )

CapnTom...

The next real milestone is getting yourself fired for floating instead of working.....more than once!

I was never a good employee anyway.

The beer tastes great guys, even the Oklahoma 3.2 dogwater. Thanks! I don't actually want to get fired for paddling which is why I carried my bad back into work this morning, but whatever happens, happens. They didn't know it six years ago when they hired me--I didn't know it either--but they hired a paddler. That's the underlying reality they're going to have to come to terms with, whatever those terms are. Here's one more:

Cheers!

SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE PADDLER! IF I GOT FIRED....I COULDNT AFFORD MY TOYS ANYMORE. GUESS WE ARE STUCK PADDLING ON THE WEEKENDS.

I called in sick today because I was sick.

I'm hoping to be able to paddle tomorrow or Sunday one.
