Daughter Jasmine, teacher author extraordinaire, latest blog on Type 1 Fun. I enjoy making cameo appearances in her blogs. BTW, I embrace ALL types of fun! I think that her blogs have life lessons for all of us no matter our pursuits! Type one fun: community.nrs.com/duct-tape/…

Duct Tape Diaries: In Defense of Type One Fun

It doesn't always have to pain and tears and suffering. Sometimes, there's plenty of fun to be had just sitting and being present outdoors.

A near-flip on Wild Sheep rapid reminds Jasmine Wilhelm that the river is the best teacher when it comes to embracing imperfection.
