With Paul - Glebe Deli / Glebe Point Rd / Glebe (Sun 29 Jul 2012)

With Paul - Glebe Deli / Glebe Point Rd / Glebe (Sun 29 Jul 2012)

Bumped into Paul at the Glebe Deli last Sunday. Paddle with Paul at Pacific Dragon's Outriggers. I have know him since I started OC6 paddling in early 2005. We have raced many races together. He is an inspiration and a great friend to all in our club.

Paul had just finished what we call a "coffee run" OC6 training session. For me I decided to get some much needed sleep, so did not sign up for the session.

Some home made soup for Paul and a cappuccino to finish it off. For me just a flat white coffee. Took this with my iPhone so that explains the blurry nature of the photo.

Boston Postcards - Apr 1994

Panorama Postcard - Boston (Apr 1994)

MIT Postcard - Boston (18 Apr 1994)

A couple of Boston Postcards that have sat on my various desk since my April 1994 trip to Boston.

The panorama card is one I bought as a souvenir for myself. I can even see where I sat down beside the Charles River (*)

The MIT card is one I sent to my work and ended up back with me after it had done the distribution list of my Work Group.

Not sure why I have kept them on my desk for all that time, but it might have something do with the fact that I have fond memories of Boston.
