Oci-One,

I e-mailed him as well, but also posted the answer here.

Once I have a few minutes to spare I'll write up a trip report from
the past weekend's Gentlemen's Paddling Weekend. We got out on a bunch
of eastern shore cypress swamp creeks at flood, and paddled under the
lunar eclipse as well.

The Gent's trip - Good weekend, good paddling, good friends, good
single barrel bourbon.

I still read everything you two post. Last question I posted, I got
flamed by a troll. Made me gun shy.

However, one of these days I'm going to go paddling with Mike. Single
barrel bourbon and I know he's a coffee drinker. What else can you ask for?

Eric

PS Mike - the baby is now 14 weeks and likes getting her face wet in the
water. After January we'll start with the swimming classes. Getting
ready for the family paddle!

If virginia.edu is UVA, I pass through Charlottesville once a month in
each direction between Maryland and North Carolina -- usually leaning
hard on the gas pedal! Weekend of the hurricane I paddled with Regina
O'Donnell, whose husband is on the UVA med school faculty, on a couple
of Charlottesville-area streams.

Mike's an entertaining guy to boat with (don't tell him I said so,
though), so don't miss the chance when you get it.

Looking forward to paddling with you someday Eric.

BTW - A couple of evenings on this past Gents trip I was sipping black
coffee fortified with single barrel :-)

It is indeed UVA. I have the lavish post of Assistant Director of
Outdoor Recreation here at UVA. If you roll through in the morning, let
me know and I can arrange a breakfast rendezvous.

I spent the hurricane weekend trying to keep the wife and baby happy in
a house that had no water or electricity. However, once we got a couple
of 5 gallon jugs full of water, it was pretty much like camping out in
your own house. I drove over the Rivanna on my way to work on Monday
and was thinking about all the water I was missing.

The alpha and omega of stimulants and depressants. That's good karmic
balance.

OK, I think I got you pegged now. Did you post on the MCC Paddle
Prattle looking for advice on starting a boating program, or bringing
a swif****er safety instructor to Charlottesville for a weekend, or
sumpin' like that? Or am I just remembering enquiries you have made
here on r.b.p?

Yer job sounds like a more formalized version of what is called, on
many campuses, faculty adviser to the Outting Club.

I could start trolling here, but I'm afraid no-one would take that
seriously, including the trolls...

I mean, even Dorian Merrill is evidently so bored here that he doesn't
want to come back to read yer answer; he wants you to take the trouble
to eMail it to him! Newsflash, Dorian: message traffic on r.b.p is so
light these days that you could come back in a week and a half and yer
thread would still be near the top of the list!

O for a good troll to bash. Yawn.

I know where one of them lives up in Canada... with your driving style
you could be there in a day. Bring a big club and bash him to mash!

Although I have posted several questions, I think the one I got flamed
for was about correlating river levels, CFS and difficulties of rivers
and trying to explain it to non-boaters / administrators. I think
someone suspected I had an accident in the program and was looking for
something to CMA. I was looking for a canoe instructor at one point as
well but I have mostly just posted on rbp.

As for my job, UVa has an outdoor recreation program which is a part of
the Intramural-Recreational Sports Department (who also maintains the
fitness facilities, runs the flag football leagues, etc.) and that's the
one that pays my salary. UVa also has a student-run Outdoors Club which
is completely separate. UVa has contracted independent organizations
which receive student funding but are not technically part of the
university. But since our program is a part of the university, we enjoy
all the privileges that entails such as liability coverage, monetary
resources, etc. Overall, it's not a bad job and gives me a reason to go
paddling on a work day every now and again instead of having to take the
day off. You know the bumper sticker that says "a bad day on the river
is better than a good day in the office" - well, for me sometimes the
day on the river IS the day in the office.

Could be, although I've toned down the time spent on BT as well... At
least I spent two days in my boat this past weekend! :-)

Lucky you. I, however, spent two days on the floor of my house this
past weekend playing with my 3 month old daughter! She'll be big enough
for a boat soon.

I know for a fact that several paddler's kids had spent some time in a
boat before they were that old. A German paddling buddy and her husband
took her newborn on a canoe when the child wasn't that old yet.

Another padding couple (with her being in her 6th or 7th month now)
joined us this past Sunday, joking that the child needs to feel the
effect of water so that it (dunno yet what sexe it will be) will also
become a passionate paddler. :-)

Before you know it she will be old enough to join you on most paddling
trips! Time flies (...like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana ;-)).
