Different strokes

Manhattan kayaks (via)

My brother and sister-in-law are avid NYC paddlers and did a marathon 22 mile paddle up the Hudson River the past weekend, to the very top of Manhattan! (Where currents meet at Spuyten Duyvil, or Spitting Devil.)

Isle of Manhattan (via)

Paddling around Manhattan is not for the faint of heart: there's open water navigation, major wind and waves, stamina loss...

Sloth (family photo)

Meantime, my sister had her crazy surgery residency schedule all weekend. But me? I slept-in, chatted and avoided work. (Clearly, this family needs a sloth...me :) Have a relaxing weekend!!
