Pointer to another Leadership Tool

My affinity group at SpiritFire did a leadership exercise from NOLS involving a directional compass, and some basic insights into human interaction, which was really quite useful. So, I produced this handy graph that shows all the relevant data bits as a useful reference-card. Only, I generated it as a PDF file, which is not so useful for posting on Flickr or LiveJournal or Tribe.net or any of the other wonderful networking tools I use.

So I posted it to my .Mac account, and you can see the results here. If you find it interesting or useful, please let me know.

Enter Clio, Wet.

So… Clio has now been swimming a few times… once with and me down in South Dartmouth, once with me alone down there, once in a stream in the park in Amherst, and now down in the school pool. She’s not really a big fan of it yet.

She’s also gone kayaking with me a few times, and that’s particularly nice. At first she’s all nervous about falling in the water, and eagerly seeks a way to escape. Then she settles into it, resigned. Finally, she falls asleep, and treats any interruption as a serious breach of etiquette.

She does seem to know what to do when in the water. She’s a strong paddler with her webbed doggie toes, and I’m proud of her for trying. I just hope she gets to the point where she’s willing to stay in the water a while.
