My husband, Scott, writes about our adventures. ***************** My wife Donna and I have been active all of our lives. We both enjoy hiking, biking, swimming, and other outdoor activities. This did not change once we each hit 40. The one thing we did notice was that many of our friends began to slack off on their activities as they got older, particular...
PRELUDE "You should do it Rob. You will have a great time. I know how much you like the outdoors," my girlfriend Peggy said. "I don't know Peg. It's for two months and I don't want to be away that long," I replied. "Listen, I am going to be gone for six weeks with my girlfriends so we would be apart anyway. My brother is looking forward to this project an...
Part I – History Chapter 3 "I thought they were building contractors," I said. "They're architecture students. Trip remodels houses over the summer. That's how he pays for his school." "Wow," Patrice said. I nodded in agreement. "Anyway, that's how Trip's getting here for the weekend. They rented a plane. Paul is flying him down this morning and then f...

We had set out around nine that late-September morning. I was in the front of the rented canoe, my husband Brian commanding ship from the stern. Our good friends...

I stepped out of the shower and began drying off. My wife, Linda, was still asleep in our bed. That's one big advantage of being retired; you can get up whenever you wake up. We hadn't used an alarm clock in nearly a year. As I combed my hair, I unashamedly admired my body. At age 56, I looked like an Olympic gymnast, except that I was too tall and few gym...
