Hawk Wars
I haven't blogged lately -- been sick but feel a bit better now. On a different note, I've been watching the hawk wars for the last two hours. A pair of Coopers (I think) hawks and a redtailed hawk (RT) have been battling it out in the trees behind my house, fighting for territory. It was the most violent thing I've ever seen in the wild, with the Coopers diveboming and hitting the RT. Feathers falling, being knocked from branches. Kocked right out of the sky!
RT is injured now, his right foot no

life news
I haven't blogged much lately. When I have time to write and something to say, it is short and pithy and ends up on Facebook. (There is a link on my website.) But I couldn't sleep after 6 am this morning, so I thought I'd catch up here.
Hmmm. Where to start. Boring stuff first! Keep reading. It might bet better.
My health has been iffy.
Threw my back out. (Better now, thanks to chiro)
Had GI distress for several weeks. (You don't want to know, and it's all better.)
Eye problems (ongoing, but better.

shopping!!!!!!
I just got back from the REI yearly sale and I spent waaaay too much money. The easy lure of an empty credit card! But my AKA (Gwen Hunter) has a new book out soon (Rapid Descent) about a whitewater paddler and I needed some spiffy clothes for signings and speaking engagements. Outdoor paddling clothes, or the kind of things a paddler might wear to the eatery after a day on the river. Signing info coming!

Happy New Year and the Color Green
Yesterday on the Green River was so lovely. The air was mid-60s, the water was a chill 46, the sun was shining, and I was tricked out in wetsuit and lots of neoprene and plasticised layers. My brother and hubby completed our group of 3, and it was so much fun to take a river with a congenial group. (As opposed to a congenital group...) Necessary too, in case of problems. Even on a quiet river, Class I and IIs, and one easy Class III, a paddler can do a fish count (go upside down) and need to be

book club
Hi all,
Below is a new book club, a sifi fantasy club,
small and intimate enough to participate in and not get bored.

I hope everyone's holidays have been fun and positive and peaceful so far. At this time of year, kept inside by weather and deadlines, I tend to get a bit introspective, looking back over the last year(s) to see where I have been and what I've done, my failings, my joys, the people I've met and been touched by. Maybe it's that old New Year thing -- resolution time. Maybe it's just too much good food and kicking back on the couch to digest... Whatever the reason is...
I want you all to know that y
