Hey, Moe! · 01-30-06, 05:18

I've been a high school foreign language teacher since 1975, though I will retire in 2-4 years. I also coach high school tennis, and therefore, I still play competitively myself. And, I officiate tennis, mostly Division I college tennis, with an occasional 120-MPH serve flying by me in the pro ranks.

I also like to cook, particularly long, slow, bar-b-que type smoking (pulled pork, brisket, etc). But since a bbq fire needs attended to only every so often, I often detail while I 'que!

I've been known to sit on the porch, and enjoy my work, both on the plate, and on the driveway!

Cool...when I move out to the West I'll be getting a long sea kayak like that. For now though, I just have a simple Old Town Otter 9.5' recreational kayak. It's been on Lake Michigan, Lake Superior, and the Wolf River (famous in WI. Longest continuous whitewater in the state) though. It's been great for everything I've used it for. But most of the time it's just lounging around local lakes/streams, catching bass/pike/panfish all morning. Can't beat that!

Ya a nice short kayak is so much fun in river a streams because its so manuverable to go and check out stuff along the sides of the rivers and going under fallen trees and things
