A Couple of Other Shits

By Chris Stevenson

Every now and then I think I have an idea that is really, really good.  I've had a few ideas for inventions lately that I think would be awesome.  I can't write here what they are for risk of some piece of shit cribbing my idea and making a million bucks.  But trust me, they're awesome.  Other times I'll have brilliant ideas about projects or goals.  My latest one:  Write a Series of Articles About the Texas Water Safari for Outside Magazine.  It would basically be the story of my evolution from desk jockey to 260-mile paddler.  Like I need any other things consuming my time, but still.

The other thing is that I think I'm gaining a newfound respect for the state of West Virginia.  You don't think much of West Virginia probably.  Neither did I.  But the WVa footbally team has been pretty good lately, what with Pat White, Steve Slaton and that new kid, Noel Devine (badass name, by the way).  Plus, the We Are Marshall movie.  Marshall University is in West Virginia for those who don't know.  Now, UWVa's basketball team is looking pretty hot.  I didn't pick them to beat Duke, but now I think they will.  I watched their fans after they won and the players were slapping their hands as they went down the tunnel.  There seemed to be a closeness with the fans that you don't see everywhere.  West Virginia has also been getting a lot of play with outdoor enthusiasts lately since a lot of the area is mountainous and undeveloped.  Anyway, you heard it here first - West Virginia is going to be one of the New Cool Places sometime soon.
