Saturday's child works for a living.

I'm cobbling together odd jobs as I get my own business up and running. Swim lessons, Census work... I just picked up another Old Town Otter at Dunham's pre-season sale, a lightweight paddle and new lifevest too.

Last year, I bought a little trailer to tow after the Corsica, after having the trailer hitch added years ago. I'm hoping the siblings and their friends will visit this summer to enjoy the lakes and rivers; I'm thinking of running an ad for private lessons too.

You can't beat northern Wisconsin in the summertime, even if just for stolen visits.
