The weather was about as good as it can get. Conversation floated like the boats that carried us. Being there, with good friends, on an October river, is something I hope to repeat as soon and often as possible.
Whether hiking or canoeing, I love the ample and unforced time for individual, as well as group conversation.
And no one capsized!
PS: Yes, that’s my shoes left at your house.
Hope they found their way to your garage.

Response from Steve:
I agree. “Ample and unforced” is a great description for it.
Okay, the shoes are in the garage, the socks are in the laundry room, and the book Mike left you is still on the table. Man, it’s almost like you left in a hurry!
