Missing this Week's Post

It's sometimes said that good friends are those who stretch and test you, help broaden your sense of what's possible. Assuming that’s true I have a friend to thank for missing this week’s blog post.

Instead of my usual routine, as you read this note I’ll be part of a team paddling nearly 400 miles down the Missouri river in a dragon boat. These boats were first developed in ancient China and are primarily used for sprints. The boat we’ll be using has been set up for distance as the team is attempting to break the world record for miles travelled by dragon boat. Why? Because it's there, I guess. 

I’ve never seen a dragon boat in person and my paddling experience is, well, let’s just say it’s under development. This journey is expected to take roughly 50 or so hours pretty much nonstop. It will be an interesting experience, to say the least, and with any luck I’ll soon be thanking my friend for this invitation into the unknown.  

I'll be back with another post next Tuesday. In the meantime, I wish you a good week and hope that you take an opportunity sometime soon to embrace the spirit of adventure.
