The real news

Kim & I actually went white water rafting down the Shenandoah and the Potomac yesterday. The river was nice and gentle, with only a few rapids (of course at the first one kim lost her paddle, grabbed hold of me and tried to pull us both out, but we managed to stay in, and even get her paddle back). It was a nice ride that went through 3 states. Starting off in West Virginia we went into Maryland (anywhere on the Potomac is Maryland) and into Virginia. The ride itself was only 7 miles, but it took us about 3 hours start to finish, the two of us really enjoyed it. Last night was not fun though, since the 2 of us were on the left hand side of the raft we were using our left arms for strength, by the time we were ready for bed our left arms felt like they were on fire.
