What’s Shakin

I didn’t think I was gonna be take a 26 day hiatus after the month long Comment for a Cause, which by the way raised $158 a bit down from last year but whatever. The money is going to a great cause and that’s what should matter.

I do have to say that the mini break was good. What have I’ve been doing for the last 26 days? Well I’ve been dealing with dragonboat related stuff off and on the water, since our racing season has began, we are on the water more. I’m also working on my clubs website and working on H2oGeeks behind the scenes stuff (finding a sponsor or two, team uniforms, paying for boat rental and the two regattas out of my own pocket) which I want to have all set in place before the 1st practice which is in a few weeks. So by the time I started thinking that I need to write a post on PGN (this site) I just was to tired to type something out. Though I did have a few things to write about but to late now.

How was everyone’s long weekend? I personally didn’t do much this year but relaxed and went to my two practices though I didn’t have to work yesterday so I got an extra day off. YAY!!! Though I did call in to check my voicemail at work so I wouldn’t have a huge number today.. Speaking of work, I should head into the office for a bit. I’d personally would love to work from home more (and work in my pj’s) but we aren’t allowed.

Have a great Wednesday!

C4AC #3 – H2OGeeks

Comment for a Cause (C4AC) is back for it’s 3rd year. C4AC is my way to raises funds & awareness. This year I’ve picked Right to Play as my charity of choice. Each comment this site gets equals $1 that I will be donating at the end of the month.. Don’t forget to keep up to date by subscribing to my rss feed

Today was an awesome day, Karen and I had a mid afternoon exec meeting for #H2OGeeks which is our twitter/social media Dragon Boat team (which I formed last year). Both of us can’t wait for this up and coming season as we are taking part in two regattas this summer and have 3/4 of the team from last year returning.

I’m still in aw that this team kicked butt last year at Paddle for Kids, here I thought we’d be ranked in the lower bunch but to my surprise we placed 7th overall out of 24 teams and some of them were real dragon boat teams that practice all year long. I wonder what this season has in store for us.

If you are from the Vancouver (BC) area and are interested in trying out dragon boating or wanting to join us please let me know asap as spots are filling up fast

Speaking about twitter and dragon boating, two Florida dragonboaters (who twitter) have put a team together of dragonboaters (who are active on twitter) for a festival happening next month, they are calling themselves Tweam Dragon Boat Team. It would be cool to take part in this dragonboat “tweet up” if you want to call it that but couldn’t get time off work. Hope those who take part have an awesome time!
