The photo is of a piece of canoe, a 1956 Old Town Guide Model that was run over by a milk truck, then left in a field, where cows stepped on it, for years. I am attracted to old canoes, but I got it not to restore it, for it was too far gone as a viable watercraft, but because I could cut it up without feeling guilty about it. You’ll see other cow-pasture canoe photos elsewhere on these pages.<\/p>\n

This winter I’ve been reading some snippets of a number of different writers. I can’t seem to actually finish a whole book, but I’ve burrowed into many of them. Lately Dorothy met Ram Dass, who met Anne Lamott, who thinks that writing is her calling. I find that intriguing. I am not worried that my reading follows the structure of the board game Candyland – jump here, jump there, you know. <\/p>\n

However, did you find yourself here? Well, welcome. <\/p>\n

I created this website for a place to place the ideas\/projects that have intrigued me. First and foremost, it is for me. But there is space for you too. It is a place where I can share my appreciation for Widjiwagan, the wilderness canoe and backpacking YMCA camp in northern Minnesota. I believe that my association with the Y and with Widjiwagan specifically, made  the difference in my life. From day camp through overnight camp to wilderness camp to being staff and attending, before I was drafted, Georged Williams College (he was the founder of the Y in 1844 London). The Y even had an impact on my being drafted (I was) during the Vietnam war but as a conscientious objector, I did two years of alternate service, part of it with the Y.<\/p>\n

In one of the Widjiwagan related stories I mention the term leaking. I think the word is a fitting one to describe this web site, where I have placed some of my writing, pictures of my sculpture and canoe interests. I might have used the term raveling, or unraveling, for this is a place where I have tacked all of those ends that would have otherwise been loose. There are some items that I worked harder at, some where I have not worked as hard at all. I put this all here in hopes it may help or humor in one’s search for the elusive pickle.<\/p>\n

Again, welcome. Look around. Watch your step. Don\u2019t get wet.<\/p>\n
