Liquid Surface Travel

Taking things a step farther, after skimming the surface of the Achafalaya Swamp Basin, it was time to see the Peconic River up close instead of peering from the window of the L.I.R.R. Peconic Paddler is a gas station turned Adventure Sales and Rental Shop in Riverhead Long Island at the mouth of the Peconic Bay that separates Long Island's North and South Fork. It is a business run by Jim Breeman an energetic man who wants to sell the business so he can take people on long distance Kayak trips.
Paddling through the narrow and winding creeks was straight out of the Wind in the Willows. It was the beginning of many more river trips to come. The trip is a dirty one, but someone found the courage to archive it here http://picasaweb.google.com/randyhagerman/PeconicRiverTrip#5387296188354675890

Hightimes Medical Cannabis Cup

It was a long road and many lessons learned. It was a big step and a challenge. I was fortunate to work with a company in Connecticut who has been in the business since 1798 who employ American Craftsman that polish atop pulpits.
And now it is complete and the first Hightimes Medical Cannabis Cup went off without a hitch.

Armen Ra releases his first album

I was fortunate enough to see Armen play years ago when he was in New York. It put me in a trance and true to any other addiction, I sought to experience his Aural Enchantments again and again. Somehow I even talked him into coming to Virginia to
play at my first art opening, Hortus Siccus at the Sycamore Rouge. Several years and many accomplishments later he has released his first album, Armen Ra Plays the Theramin. Well done Armen.
