between now and then

There always seems to be a lot of time between posts, and I am not patient enough to give much detail. My last post was the start of an intense few weeks of school. Its over now and I faired pretty well. New Orleans was a big highlight, as was the Halloween party. I was looking forward to some extra free time once school slowed down, but I am surprised that I have actually been bored on occasion. I gave myself a 4 day weekend by skipping school on Thursday and Friday. I felt happy that I got to spend more time sailing and back to sleeping on it. I am sad that I will have to pull the boat out of the water in a couple weeks and it will have to sit in my driveway. The boat is out of place in my driveway, and i feel out of place here. A plus side to the changing seasons is hockey. I saw the new KC hockey team, the Mavericks, play at the brand new Independence Events Center. I enjoyed the game and am excited to play this year. I also am working on a project to build an iceboat. Most of my free time has been dedicated to planning a sailing trip in the pacific northwest. I have been studying charts, and planning the equipment necessary to make it happen.
