Old friends at Pack & Paddle

Tonight I presented a dehydrating seminar at Pack & Paddle in Lafayette, Louisiana. It was a lot of fun to prepare things for the class, but I felt a bit disorganized in the presentation. I should have thought things through a bit more before talking to 35 or so people about how to prepare dehydrated foods for wilderness adventures (or for hurricane preparedness).

Too late now. The class is over, and I hope some folks learned some things they didn't know before tonight.

A new website has been created to help alumni from my high school get back in touch with each other. Through this website, I found an old friend, A.J., who lives near Lafayette with his wife, Lori. Knowing I was doing a class in Lafayette, they decided to wander over for a visit. Even though they don't really do too much in the way of outdoorsy things. We didn't get to visit much since I had this class to do, but it was good to see them anyway. Here's hoping that another 20 years won't go by before we have the chance to visit again.
