Saturday morning, Jan. 7, I went on a 25 mile bike ride with my buddies, Heather and Carol. We’re all signed up to do the 100 mile bike ride for the Hill Country Ride for AIDS. More on that another time. Afterwards, Heather and I have the following conversation:
Heather: “What are you doing today?”
Me: “A whole bunch of nothin’”
Heather: “What to come over and we can do nothin’ together?”
Me: “Sure!”
Normally we just hang out and talk about life and triathlon stuff. I headed over to Heather’s and we went to Galaxy Cafe (a local restaurant) for a late lunch. During lunch I explained to Heather about my New Years Resolution on experiencing Austin. Heather has lived in Austin a lot less time than I have and she’s done a whole bunch of Austin things already. She asked if I’d ever been kayaking on Town Lake, and I hadn’t. So, that’s what we did! I got totally soaked, and it was hard work trying to paddle in a straight line, but lots of fun. I was scared to take my regular point-n-shoot camera with me on the kayak, so I just have pictures I took with my cellphone.
Funny how a whole bunch of nothin’ can turn into a whole bunch of sumthin’! Thanks, Heather!
