Personal info: For those who care- My screen name use to be mlbeck44 and, I still might post under that sometimes. I've always been anxious to paddle bigger stuff, but always practice good judgement and go with my gut feeling. If I don't feel good about it, bet your sweet ass- I'm gonna walk. Anyhooo- because of this I thought it only fitting to change my screen name. I am an aries and, we are not known for our patience. Hence- thinkpatience.

Many of my paddling buddies live in GA and I'm moving to Asheville. So, if you are in the area and need a paddling buddy... send me an e-mail at mlbeck44@aol.com. Let's go boatin'!!
