you can email me directly at [masked] since I hardly check my greetings here...just happened to have a lazy PC/TV day today :)
I lived in Astoria at one point too. you're right, there's major lack of diversity here (and I live in Uptown, so you can imagine!) I was living in Cairo in the 1990's

That's so funny b/c my first week here, i missed both the earthquake and the hurricane! I lived in the east village.

Hey Michael. Noticed you said you were from Egypt. So am I (born here, but lived there for a few years). Anyway I just moved to Dallas from NYC! :) It'd be great to meet people in the area since i'm so new here. - Chris

Michael, please let us know how you are doing when you can! My philosophy: They aren't scars; they are trophies to remind us what we have conquered : ).

Thanks, Michael. It will be a lot of fun. I watched a group of kayakers do sprints up and down the river by the kayak launch. It looked like a great way to get an upper body workout. I am going to try to get certified by Oct. 16th if possible. I have great plans of mapping out the river within the DFW area this winter. Should be great fun! : )

Michael, right now you are on the waiting list but I am sure somebody won't show. You can pay when you get there. It looks like it will be moved to the 18th. I am still waiting on the outfitter to see if that weekend is available for us. I will have to organize time slots again if we move the dates. Some can't go when they were expected to go. I will let you know as soon as I know. Thank you! : )

Michael, yes the kayaks can be rented for $20. : )

Michael, if you don't already know Will, you will like both him and this hike he is hosting!

Thanks for joining, Michael!

Thanks for the interest in the Trinity River Trash Bash! Let me know if your group doesn't want to make it an event and you can come with The River Legacy Park Fitness and Adventure group. We really do need volunteers : )
