We have been pretty quiet this fall as I, Mike, have been spending mucho tiempo with my family. My wife, Franny Perez, gave birth to our daughter on October 16th. We named her Camille. The other project has been helping prepare hosting US Wildwater Nationals on the Skagit in 2010. They will be held July 31 & Aug 1. Rich has been in his K-1 a bit, and I have been recovering from a case of sciatica. Picking up my 30 pound 2 year old, during a tantrum, takes its toll. I have managed to spend some time lifting weights and working out on my paddling machine. We are very excited about hosting and racing on the Skagit.
