Generation X was the last generation of what was best.

Thoughts to ponder in regards to Generation X:  Generation X is the last generation.

The last generation to work on its own cars.
The last generation to fight on the playground without a bunch of tattling pansies.
The last generation both to get laid and later settle down for marriage.
The last generation to shoot guns at animals for sport as children.
The last generation to shop at record stores.
The last generation without a cellphone growing up.
The last generation to hurt players on the football field without being ejected.
The last generation to make music with actual instruments.
The last generation to buy non-flat screen televisions.
The last generation to read books.

The last generation of what was best.  I think we lost some things when those experiences became less than commonplace.

Another two to three weeks … Lake Winnipeg to James Bay.

In another 2 to 3 weeks, I shall be off for another canoeing adventure, this time across Canada.  From Lake Winnipeg to James Bay -- either Fort Albany or Moose Factory.  If the crew and I decide upon Moose Factory, this will give me the opportunity to take the Ontario Northland train from Moosonee, make a connection to the Algoma Central train, and then to Saulte Sainte Marie, Ontario.  Cross 3 items off of the bucket list in this trip. 

Meanwhile, I have been making a list, crossing things off, and adding more items, for the trip.  This is exciting.  There is planning for another 60 - 65 days on the trail.   

Another June, the beginning of another canoeing season.

Looking out over Lake Mendota, another season of canoeing has begun.  I've watched kayakers cross the lake next to my property, and, it looks as though they're having fun, despite the weather being as mercurial as it has been.  Even the wind of the other day failed to deter a determined kayaker or three.  I'm looking forward to getting out on the water myself within the next two or three weeks.  Also looking forward to having some new gear to review, which I shall post here.

A review from Doug Moe, of the WI State Journal:

"High drama didn't stop canoe dream."
