Yesterday, Mike Johnson, the ICC Provost, and I left work at 3:00 PM to go kayaking on a remote lake in northern Minnesota. One of the best aspects of our part of the world is the four destinct seasons. Unfortunately, we often take them for granted and just go on with our busy lives. Over the past few years I have tried to take an afternoon each season to spend with a friend in the quiet outdoors. Yesterday was perfect. The weather was cool and dry. We went to a lake up highway 38 and paddled the shoreline for two hours. We saw many deer, visited about each others' lives and soaked in the autumn season. After sunset we loaded up our kayaks and stopped off for a burger and a beer. All in all a great afternoon/evening.
TBL: Don't let life pass you by. Schedule, weeks in advance if you have to, an afternoon in the great outdoors.
