This site is a lot of things. It’s therapy. It’s a passion for bouldering and rock climbing. It’s a beginner’s path to enlightenment (or the light at the end of the tunnel…wait…is that a train?!?!).

This would be an experiment for two … Continue reading Happy Father’s Day and a few other comments

We really need the moisture here, though. We just fell under … Continue reading A rainy writing day
