Tieton next weekend 9/15 = toga party, I am told...

OK Dave, it's not about drunken elephants, as James suggests... if you remember --- wrack yo brain, I know you remember --- Dumbo's feather was a placebo. He was told by his friend the mouse to hold it in his trunk and he'd be able to fly, but it was just a way to make him believe in himself. Lo and behold, when he dropped the feather... drum roll... he could still fly. Like your paddle. Your roll has nothing to do with what kind of paddle you use, unless you talk yourself into believing it does. 

OHHHHHHHHHH, I get it now! I can roll with a feather! Ummmm, doesn't' the feather get wet?.  No, seriously though, after 17 years of boating my problem isn't' rolling, it's throwing down the boat and trying to learn the play moves! Someday I will buy a better playboat, damn that Tekno....
