Living life in pursuit of ten feet tall, still!
Now that I’m home and showered, time for my favorite thing: a trip report! The short version: a magical and relaxing time in the mountains with a good friend. More below the photo dump!

In the series of books I’m named for (The God Stalker Chronicles, by PC Hodgell), a major plot point is something called “the soulscape”.

Read MoreSpring has arrived & with it my driving need to do all the things, every day, all at once. The longer days also bring with the increased energy to get more done-not all the things, but more than Winter Jamé feels like bothering with. Riding, hiking, DMV, house cleaning & writing all in the same […]
Read MoreI’ve been running a bit intermittently since Turkey Day, even going so far as to acquire two pairs of shoes just for running, plus a Camelbak waist belt, again, just for running. I tried running in high school & frankly sucked at it, but considering my life now it’s a good way to exercise, […]
