Shoes, Shoes, Shoes. Those are my wife’s three favorite words. In thinking about all the planning and logistics needed by Steve and I prior to starting this hike of the Appalachian Trail, I have quickly come to the realization that “shoes” is probably going to be the one dominant word that I associate with […]

Since I once again got of schedule in my A to Z Challenge posts, I am going to combine one of them with this week’s 100 Word Challenge for Grown Ups post. That way I am not burdening the blogging world with numerous bits o’ silliness and forcing people to evaluate how much they can […]
