Greetings!
Tamela Gorden here, Lynda's alter ego for the first few days of Paddlin’ for Paws 2009. In case you’re curious why someone you’ve never heard of is “channeling” Lynda, the Reader’s Digest Condensed Books version is this: I know Lynda through several venues, most notably line dancing and a writers’ group. However, don’t let those bona fides fool you—I’m a much better line dancer than I am a writer! Despite that, I’m here to bring you all the Paddlin’ for Paws news that’s fit to print.
After a long first day—made even longer by the fact that she never went to bed last night—Lynda called me just after 10:00p.m. with the day’s report, but unfortunately our telephone connection was sketchy. (For all of you who’ve given up your landlines in lieu of cell phones, my hat is off to you. I marvel at cell phones when they work well and the rest of the time I want to use all those words for which your mother washed out your mouth when you were a kid.)
In the short conversation we managed, I gathered that Lynda has Internet access this evening and will be sending in some basic stats if she can stay awake long enough. When I get that information I’ll post an update, but it won’t be until tomorrow.
So at this point pretty much all I know is 1) the kayakers are fine and 2) more information will follow. I know that many people will be following this blog, so I’ll try to make entries as soon as possible so as not to keep you in suspense.
And if you haven’t already done so, please consider making a donation to Paddlin’ for Paws. It’s a great cause and I know the paddlers will appreciate your support as they make their way around Lake Tahoe.
In the meantime, good luck to the paddlers! Fair weather and safe travels to you.
