[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]How do words come into being? How did a rock become described by the sound “rawk”? Why is wind not wssshhhhhh? Why do words for mother sound similar in many different languages ? Why does a dog say “woof” (actually dogs, and chickens and cows, make different sounds in different parts of the world. Just […]

I went hiking for the first time in a couple of years yesterday. An actual hike that included mountains, death-defying acts of acrobatic skill, beasties galore, and pain and sweat. I did this to get back in the groove, making sure that I am well prepared for the short stroll that Mark and I are planning […]
1067 Days to go! I’ll be using this post to update my fitness progress each Monday until we depart on the hike. Thanks to Steve for leading me to the website “myfitnesspal.com” which has been a great help in allowing me to track my calorie intake and exercise. My personal goals for the years […]
