Howdy!

Happy April Fools Day!

I’m finally getting into the swing of updating this lovely website!

For those of you who didn’t know, I lost my father January 2nd to Pancreatic Cancer.  We have all been coping with his sudden loss as best as we can.  Mom and I are now roommates!  And we are getting use to what that means.  My father took care of everything in their lives, so now I’m helping take some of those responsibilities to help mom get a little bit more independent.

I have trained hard for 8 months at D.I.S.C with Coach “Doc” Kreis and I have been paddling on my one man for 7 months to get ready for Marina Del Rey’s Women’s Outrigger canoe team.  We started our practices last Saturday and will start competing in early May.

I raced in my first OC-1 race on March 20th and came in 2nd place.  It was 5.2 miles long and I had a pretty good time at 50:47.  I know dad was out there with me pushing me along.

Kama just took off to compete in the annual Merrie Monarch in Hilo Hawaii.  This will be his 4th competition there and the first one I will not be attending.   I will be leaving on the 8th for a cruise from Florida across the Atlantic ocean to Scotland, Ireland, Falmouth, London and oh, Bermuda on the way over.  Mom, my sister and Aunt will be joining me.

A lot of changes this year and I will be better at keeping you updated!

A new season of RedvsBlue starts tonight and it’s guaranteed to keep you guessing.

That’s all for now!  Take care,

Kathleen
