My Thoughts...



Risk is essential.
There is no growth or inspiration in staying within what is safe and comfortable.

Not all who wander are lost

Quick Update...

This is primarily for people who want to see climbing photos. I apologize to those of you that do not! The vast majority of these are taken by Jon Mixell while he was here and I just received the disc with them on it. He took some great photos and many of them were too good not to share. So thank you to him!

Since the last post we have been busy. School and teaching is still going well, althought last week I did think I was going to be stabbed with a pencil by a kid with some "behavior issues." Nevertheless good. Jenny, Sharma and I went hiking last week and saw a rattlesnake! He rattled and scared the shit out of Jenny and I. Sharma didn't notice. Shocker. Last night Jenny and I went to Vampire Weekend at Red Rocks for her birthday! Today we are gonna go out and climb then go to the taste of Colorado. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
