I have been pretty busy the last several days. Ironically, the busier I am, the less I feel I accomplish. But that is nothing new. It all has to do with relativity and the ultimate ethereality of super science. But I can proudly say, that whatever has kept me busy has been with one primary […]
Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. –Albert Einstein Einstein has always been one of my “idols”. And it is not just because of his cool hair. The man just made sense. Granted in order to understand some of the sense he made on needs a degree in physics […]
I seem to be failing in my Idiot duties again. Technically I have been fully embracing my Inner Idiot, both for the sake of now and future adventures. I have just been failing to DOCUMENT it. So here I am, sitting in my new office, getting caught up on my recent wild adventures. Many moons […]
Climbing up hills can be hard work … especially when those hills are figurative. I have fallen into a time in which I seem to be making little progress in ANYTHING I do, which is very disheartening. I started of this year with all sorts of fresh ideas, that were exciting and seemed to have […]
Been quiet in these parts lately! Seemed long past time to get some good healthy babble on again. I went on a trip to North Carolina last week. A change of scenery, time to regroup, and a chance to commune with my Hiking Guru. I am still determined to complete this crazy project, and since […]
I am not a goal driven person. I MIGHT be a destination driven person, but even when I have a specific destination I am aiming for, to me the journey to it is really what is important. So when Mark asked me to join him in this epic journey … there was absolutely no chance […]
When I was younger, they used to call me The Test Dummy. While this kind of applied to my whole life, it specifically referred to my outdoor activities. For about 18 years, I went on yearly 10 to twelve day canoe outings. The first few were basically calm flat water … but then we got […]
After Mark’s recent post, I have to admit I have a few concerns myself now. I mean knowing that my own personal need for pepperoni sticks could very well endanger my life is scary enough, but knowing my partner is likely to antagonize rattle snakes and terrorize field mice and Boy Scouts is rather sobering. It is […]
When I crushed my leg in a freak car juggling accident, it changed my life a bit (as one might guess). Like everything else I do in my life, when I do something, I go all out in doing it. I couldn’t just break my right femur (the biggest bone in the body by the way) 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 […]
