Suzi, Jamison, and I took a circuitous walk around all the ponds at Dawson Creek. We found some cool mushrooms and took the obligatory photo at the second tunnel.

One last time, Jamison posed for our traditional first day of school. And because I’m not there to have taken it myself, he emailed it to me.
Well done, Jamison! We’re so proud of you.
Jamison starts school again today. No longer do I get to be there to take the picture so I texted Jamison, asking if he’d take a selfie for me. This picture was the result.
Above and beyond! :-)

As a last hurrah of Jamison’s spring break, he invited me to longboard the Banks to Vernonia trail with him. It’s a nice, long, gentle ride. The weather was wonderful and the trail was dry. Jamison also took some videos with his phone.
Thanks, Jamison for the invite! That’s my boy. :-)

This morning, our phones beeped and we discovered Jamison had sent us our traditional first day of school pictures. We’re so proud!
I wonder how many more years I’ll get to do this. Not too many more, I’d bet.

Before Jamison left for Majuro, he set up a blog using his jamisonlogan.com domain name. Now, he just posted for the first time from Majuro. Some really awesome pictures and some writing to go along with it. I’m a proud dad! :-)

Jamison’s first day of school this year is a different sort of first — he’s taking a year out of his engineering studies and teaching eighteen or so 6th graders in the Marshall Islands. This is a picture of Jamison in his classroom.1Thanks to Jamison for providing this selfie and his permission to post it here.
I know Jamison will do well. Those of us left behind, I’m not so sure about.2I’m not talking just about Suzi. Here it is Wednesday, Mt. Tabor is calling my name, and I miss my longboarding buddy. Thanks to Google’s Hangouts, we’ve already conferenced our distributed family.
Go get ’em, Jamison! We’re proud of you.

Jamison and I tried to get Longboard SpeedMeter going the last time we longboarded the Banks to Vernonia Trail, but it couldn’t get enough GPS satellites in view at Tophill.
This evening, I waited until the first gravel crossing before starting SpeedMeter and it worked — I think. It captured a top speed of 25.14 mph at the location I would have expected, but then recorded the run’s top speed as 9.73 mph. Oopie!
Regardless, I’m looking forward to trying my top-mount board on the trail and then at Mt. Tabor.

Jamison, Ethan,1Ethan is the master of riding fast and looking fast. One trick I learned is to wear an untucked and unbuttoned shirt. When it flaps in the breeze, you look fast. Being able to “match” a plaid shirt with plaid shorts is just bonus! ;-) and I longboarded twice2It takes a few trips between Buxton and Tophill to reposition the cars, longboards, and longboarders. from Tophill down to Buxton3It’s 5 miles each time. That’s 10 miles on the longboard — a good day. :-) on the Banks-Vernonia Trail. A fair number of bikes4One fat-tire bicyclist was so enamored by my steeze that he couldn’t avoid heading my direction. Fortunately, there was (barely) enough pavement left over to sneak by. and pedestrians joined in the fun.
Jamison took a bunch of videos using his new Yi action cam5Not an ad, just a hopeful observer of the consumer. The price and specs seemed right. We’ll see. and snapped some stills with it, too. I’m looking forward to his video edits. Stay tuned…
