You have no idea how intense I am

I am intense. I like my toast dark.

The Antidote for Co-Dependency

I do my thing and you do your thing.
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations,
And you are not in this world to live up to mine.
You are you, and I am I,
and if by chance we find each other, it's beautiful.
If not, it can't be helped. - Fritz Perls

Old Pueblo 50 Mile Trail Run

I was planning to do the Old Pueblo 50 mile trail run last weekend, but my training fell apart back around Halloween. Between traveling for work, sailing across the Tasman Sea, and coming down with a terrible virus, I was nowhere near ready to run 50 miles. So I volunteered at the 40 mile aid station. It was a great inspiration to see all the athletes come through.

Dear friend Angela volunteered her Saturday and snapped this photo of a homeless man that ate a lot of our food:

 Even the poopers came out to support the athletes (by barking at their wives\girlfriends\dogs).

Tragedy strikes Catnip

I've found a safe place to leave Catnip. It's at the Yeppoon Inlet. And my neighbor George will keep an eye on it. I'm heading south, and doing my Walkabout.

I surfed my way down the coast. I'm in the Blue Mountains now.

Yeppoon just got hit with a category 5 cyclone. It pushed Catnip up onto the rocks, and put couple of holes in her. Fortunately the multi flotation chambers keep her afloat. I'm doing repairs during low tide when she sits on the sand.
