Extreme Kindness

Erik's Journal - September 22, 2002

Geography: A very and fall like Saskatoon, Sask.

Point form day: -Up at 11:30, (woah!) -Sunday buffet at the Radisson -had a group meeting -did some computer work -went for one of the best runs of my life -got caught up on my computer work, bed.

Highlight of the day: My run. I had been inside all day working and feeling a little groggy. Periodically throughout the day I had been looking out at the river and the path that followed a long side of it. So, I stepped out and headed wherever my feet took me. In the evening sunlight I followed dirt trails that lead me through tunnels of green trees and brush. I followed the river underneath two bridges and crossed to the other side via a giant train trestle. The path on other side of the river followed a bank that looked down on the river and the other side. The sun was shining, I was feeling great and I had exploration on the mind. To explore a location and find the new or the unique or the beautiful is what keeps me sane. When I arrived back at the hotel I was exercised, refreshed and happy beyond compare.

Most inspiring moment: Brainstorming further details for the American tour.

Shout outs: To my brothers Jay and Carl. You guys are great. Thanks for supporting me. Grandma and Grandpa. Great talking to you. Thanks for all the valuable advice and insights.

Classic Quote: “Can I order breakfast now?” – Val, jokingly to the waitress (@7:10 pm) after receiving his food after 50 minutes. She laughed.

My Crux: Writing my journals.

Physically Speaking: My burnt armpit was chafing while running.

Mental Stimulation:

Big Laughs: Just talking about the events of yesterday.

When I finished writing this I was: Tired but stoked.
