This summer has been very busy and very rewarding for me. I have definitely taken a corner in my life. It will be a little while still before this corner starts to make sense. I am still having to work some wording issues with the business concepts I am working on. However, my biggest concern is now focusing on ways that I can help others and generate an income at the same time. A few possibilities to announce in the coming months once I have the wording and messaging issues worked out. Why do I have to use words, how about I just think it over to you.

In a few words, my work this summer got me out of my pre-launch pattern and just a little overwhelmed. Not a good thing in the blogging world. The politics and the natural chaos of the weather did not help either. But I seem to be back with a lot of new material and will now start working on a more formal launch or Green Urban Paddle and then a pre-launch of the Bridge Street Community Concept

This summer was by no means all frustrating work. It was also some really fun things mixed in. This summer my youngest daughter turned into a senior. Our annual family vacation on the Eel River in Humboldt County, California, the land I grew up in, was one of the best ever. Then there was the beautiful wedding of a close family friend that involved all of us. I was able to go kayaking in some awesome places here in the bay. I am working on the images from all this so I can post them soon.

So I am behind in my postings and I hope that it will be worth it as I get back in the groove. Here is what is to come.

• My confession about how I was wrong about gender and eunuchs
• A collection of musical performances that include my daughter Hailey and others.
• A week on the Eel River and some fun stuff
• An article on the new Bay Water Trail and instructions to a tour I will be giving to Bay Water Trail sites
• Updated descriptions of this blog. One that is a couple of sentences and one that breaks down about what the name means. And the same for BRG Street.
• Many more including a trip under the Golden Gate Bridge

So I hope to see you back here at Green Urban Paddle as we get ready to do the formal launch this fall.
