Backblogging! I’m sorry, I know it’s a bad habit to fall into, but please allow me this indulgence. I’ve been running around like a madman for the last few weeks, so the blog has been given short shrift. I promise it won’t happen again. Well, not really, but I do feel bad about it.

Carisa and I went canoeing on the Concord River a couple weekends back. We’ve tried to do it at least once a summer with relatively good success. We enjoy the river a lot. The scenery is nice, the current isn’t too fast, and navigation is easy.

We had packed some sandwiches from the Main Street Market in Concord and had a nice little picnic at the Minuteman Park. It’s nice being able to canoe right into a park, pull your boat ashore, and enjoy lunch. Highly recommended.
