Though I rarely enter any body of water larger or colder than a jacuzzi, for uShaka I made an exception trying everything but the HIGHEST slide.

I was back once again in Port Townsend, WA just after Christmas. Stayed a couple of weeks. 🙂
This time Carrie, James and I were videotaping Games & Activities for Tumbl Trak, based on a script I wrote 14yrs ago.
James has moved to Port Townsend from freezing Michigan — for 3 months, at least.
He’s living in Doug and Diana’s new guest house dubbed “The Lodge“.
The weather was far better than most anywhere else in North America. But it did rain.
Actually, I spent more time on Doug’s Cycleops 200 Pro Indoor Cycle trainer than on that guest bike. Watching episodes of House of Cards.
Good food. Good fun. Good conversation.
James is a member of the Wall Street Journal Wine Club. He gets a select collection every 3 months.
January in Port Townsend is a time of Tumbl Trak brainstorming for the new year. We’ve hatched plans.
Doug & Diana have so many guests visit them in Port Townsend, WA, they finally bought a second house. James moved in for 3 months!
The LODGE will be hosting many meetings & social events, as well. My second night in town we enjoyed a big dinner.
Salty provided smoked salmon.
Chris made two giant lasagnas.
Matt & Becca brought their NEW baby. 🙂
mmmm …
Magical Christmas Day.
Rob & Yvonne hosted.
Stacey, Randy & Val flew in Christmas day.
For the record, I ate too much. And got crushed in the Family game of Mexican Train.
For the record, I won the Family game of Mexican Train. 🙂
For your health.

I got old.
I had a kid.
Netflix.The kid thing was huge. We don’t let our three-year-old watch a lot of TV, but when we do it’s through No. 3 — Netflix. There’s a great selection of kid-friendly content and no commercials yelling at him in between breaks in the action. …
