Upon Further Reflection

Bryant Burkhardt (Aug 4 2017) - As my regular readers may have noticed (if I have any left), I have not posted much in the past couple of years. The reason for that is simple I haven't kayaked much. The reason for that is a little more complicated but can be summarized thusly: I have a child now.  read more...
