magicbeans. nothing if not awkward.

aaron and i went kayaking this afternoon. he does it twice a week or so, but it was the first time that i had ever been. we drove down to the risd farm, but the waves were too big, so we came back up and found our way to the boat launch across the bay from india point park.

across the bay, over to collier point. then through the hurricane barrier and up the canal. past a wedding party on a gondola. under the mall. and up the river until it got too shallow to go any further. then back.

my hands are incredibly sore. but i really enjoyed it.

sushi.

and aaron wanted to try a local beer. we went to union station. going there felt uncomfortable. but, for the sake of the local beer, and for the sake of confronting that fear, we went anyway.

i got the feeling that if we had wanted to go somewhere else for another couple of beers that stef would have gone with us, but she assumed that we were just going to go home. which was true, as i was feeling a little sick, a touch of sun stroke, i think. so we went home, and she went to ri-ra when she got off of work.
