Wow, you left Reno? I had no idea. I have a feeling you’ll kick ass wherever you go, but it’d be nice if it were here. Sigh…

Good luck!

So how is it? Have you two settled in? We’re so sad that you’re not out here on the left coast anymore, but I’m so pumped for Julia about this job. I hope it’s going to be as awesome as it possibly could. Sim and I were talking about you two on our recent trip up to Tahoe and knowing you’d be “homesick.” But you’re both resourceful people, and I’m sure you’ll find some ridiculous adventure sport down there–kitesurfing or scuba diving with sharks or gator wrestling–to potentially kill yourself while going “WHOOHOOOO!.” We have tremendous faith in the power of the crazy.

Wow, this blog is really going to take on an entirely new character. Congratulations to your wife, and attaboy to you for supporting her the way you should. And surfing rules, so I have no fear that you will be wanton for a soul-enrichening daily extracurricular experience.

Peace.

I can think of worse places to live than Tampa. And I’d say you’re well on your way to one of the two happiest days of your life…the day you buy your first sailboat. (The second happiest day, of course, will be the day you sell it.)

Robert, first off I want to say great blog. I came across it when an old paddling buddy of mine, Collin, sent me a link from the Giant Gap video. I happened to check your blog today, because I long for anything that reminds me of the beautiful Sierras. I read that you were leaving the Tahoe area and could immediately empathize with you. I left with dreams of a better career and the affordability of owning a home. I landed in Wilmington, NC and have achieved what I came here to do, but never stop missing my home in the Sierras. Good luck with your move. I’ll miss seeing any new Tahoe pics or especially kayaking vids posted on your blog.

And to think I never took Robert up on a trip to go rafting…you will be back, you planted the idea of a social media conference in my head and it will come to fruition some day and when it does, you will be there fo sho.
