Happy New Year!

A year with several first,
Cannot end without a verse!
If you feel these poems are getting worse,
My apologies, please bear with my outburst :)

A patent issued with my name,
Don't you dare infringe on the claims!
A humble dwelling to call my own,
Remodelling and furnishing to turn it into a home.

Trained and raced with BAD to feed my paddling addiction,
Outrigger canoeing in balmy weather was a paddler's heaven.
Finally experienced rock climbing in the wilderness,
Rappelling down Goat Rock was pure awesomeness!

Visiting Spain had to be put off for another year,
White Mountain, Shark's fest...I'm training for you, you hear?
More of life's adventures in the months to come,
To the status quo, I will not succumb!

Thanks for reading and....
Happy New Year, everyone!
