Gogo

I finally decided to give Gogo Inflight a try on my Delta flight from Denver to Atlanta ... mostly because the $12.95 fee was being waived for first time users, and partly because I finished reading the wrinkled Us Magazine I found in the seat-pocket in front of me. I&

Technicolor

This photo is from a meadow along the Pine Creek trail in the San Isabella Wilderness ... with a heavy dose of Photoshop. When I have more time (burning time in the Denver airport currently) I need to single out the trees and do a better job with the creek.

All Done

Corey and I spent the week in the Collegiate Wilderness. We didn't really sleep the night before (while traveling) and went straight from the airport to the grocery store, packed everything, drove two hours to the trailhead, set up the tent and crashed. The following morning it was

Summit Feaver

Here's the deal. If I get my way, we'll be camping at the trailhead on Sunday night and starting the climb Monday morning. If the weather is good, the snow minimal and our appetite for pain great, we'll run up Mt. Huron, Missouri Mountain,

Protocol

If you walk into a restaurant and place an order to-go, does protocol dictate adding even a small tip to the check?

Two Minutes

Two minutes to 30; in my birth-time-zone that is. And I'm still a teenager in base-16.

Here we go again

Off to the Grand Canyon again for Death March, Part 2. We clocked in at 23:41 last time. Sporting a vastly improved understanding of water availability and renewed understanding of the importance of not neglecting to tape my heals before walking nearly fifty miles, we're hoping for
