Climbing Mt. Rainier

Attempting Mt. Rainier on July 16, 2009, we got caught in a helacious storm and had to turn back at about 13,000 feet.

New Book

I am writing a book containing the correspondence between two dogs.  They talk about their lives and make observations on the human condition.

Mending

I've just had a second surgery for a torn achilles tendon and am on crutches.  What a pain.  Every movement has to be planned for the crutches to cooperate and not let you go to the ground. I hope to be ready to go in about a month. I'm itching to go skiing at Mammoth.
