Getting by with a little help from my friends
I run because it makes me feel good. Sure, partly it’s for the exercise and to keep the Running is good physical exercise and helps keep the middle-aged Dad Bod in check, but mostly I do it for the endorphins … Continue reading

Search for El Dorado
I’ve lived in Boulder County for 17 years now and have somehow never climbed Eldorado Mountain. So, naturally, we decided to run up it at night. Eldorado is an 8300′ peak adjacent to the much more traveled but similar in … Continue reading

Project Louisville
All things considered, my family was in pretty good shape when the COVID-19 pandemic hit everything changed: jobs doable remotely, kids learning remotely about as well as can be expected, plenty of toilet paper and hand sanitizer, full liquor cabinet … Continue reading

2017 B-sides and Rarities
2017 featured some great adventures written up here previously. Most significant (to me) were probably my spontaneous trip to South Africa, a big family trip to Yellowstone, and a series of adventures associated with my home-grown ultralight backpacking gear. But … Continue reading
