Banal Observation of the Day

Sea kayaking tends to induce fatigue, especially when you know longer really recall correct kayaking method.

Comments

" . . . .especially when you know longer really recall . . ." the difference between *know* and *no*.

Sheesh.

darnit! I wanted to be the first one to point out Matt's typo! How will I get that inflated sense of superiority now?

I noticed a too/to error the other day.

If I make those sort errors, I've noticed it's because I was drinking. I bet there were other factors involved in the poor kayak skills other than a memory lapse.

I'd rather he got the homonyms and typos wrong, and the observations right. They're impeccable grammarians over at The Corner.

I've noticed a lot of odd phrasings today. (Cf. the first sentence of the post preceding this one.) I imagine that's what sea kayaking does to a person. Having done a 22-mile bike ride this morning, I know the feeling.

MattY thinks this is funny, but it could have been a tragedy. At the very least there should be a few firings, and possibly even criminal prosecutions.

My staff knows to keep up to date on the activities I participate in; in this case one would have been on hand to help remind me of the proper technique.

I just thank God this was just kayaking and not polo or F1. MattY: please contact me for some recommendations on some good people.

i plan my seakayak trips with the tide in mind, i have taken quite a few naps induced by paddling fatigue, only to wake up a little nearer my destination.
