Write-Wild: November 2009
http://write-wild.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Manifestation, Wildness and the Artful Life. Thursday, November 26, 2009. Yes, I am working on it. None of this is really edited yet. Masala and Lamb Korma, content for now. Outside the large windows, snow blows sideways, pelting the entire little town of Nederland. There is just enough light diffusing through the thick sky that the town glows blue. Naropa, the Buddhist University founded by guru-monk Chogyum. Windburned cheeks, a skier? Well-worn hiking boots, a world traveler? Sunday, November 22, 2009.

Manifestation, Wildness and the Artful Life. Thursday, May 6, 2010. Blog Entry 5-4-10, Tuesday. My 1986 4Runner (I call it a truck) needed a test voyage before taking the big leap into the Rockies. The (! Right now, the wind is howling and shaking the walls, even this chair, here at Neil Backstrom's house. Last night, Neil hosted my goodbye dinner with his "Chicken Soup for the Soul." Neil and I made schemes about stopping on the Dolores River, Ruby Thief, the Ark, the Colorado. However, neither ...Neil ...

Write-Wild: Food For Thought: Traveling Tea
http://write-wild.blogspot.com/2010/04/food-for-thought-traveling-tea.html
Manifestation, Wildness and the Artful Life. Thursday, April 22, 2010. Food For Thought: Traveling Tea. With most of my possessions loaded in the back of my 4-Runner, even my kitchen cupboard is bare, except for a few useful items. I stow the wicker box tea set and re-organize the space. I am ever wondering how it will all fit in my truck. Committed to my tea, I have designated to it an entire drawer in a mobile cabinet in my truck. Whole chamomile flowers, dong quai. Barley, oats. Dahl. I cannot store t...

Write-Wild: Balance
http://write-wild.blogspot.com/2010/02/balance.html
Manifestation, Wildness and the Artful Life. Tuesday, February 9, 2010. I snuck in five runs today, starting just past noon, when the light was golden and the shadows where starting to lengthen and turn blue. I met a friend by chance at the lift. We found soft pillows of snow in the trees. Riding on the lift we shared the stoke. Now I'm back at the laptop writing again, sipping tea. A perfect day! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Manifestation, Wildness and the Artful Life. Sunday, May 31, 2009. Fort Collins: Kayaks, Bikes and Breweries. Café s are my interim sanctuaries. Outside the Starry Night Café here in Fort Collins, I have a few hours to transform myself from a kayaking ninja into a writer. Maybe the cappuccino. Does it. There is even a swirly fern pattern traced into the froth by a meticulous barista. River At least my friends who kayak can appreciate. I've joined up with Mike Konschnik. Monday, May 18, 2009.

Manifestation, Wildness and the Artful Life. Thursday, February 4, 2010. So, winter hasn't quite lived up to my early season expectations. It's been dry and the little snowpack we have is sketchy. To archive my optimism, I've saved the below preface to the Write-Wild blog from the opening of the ski season. Three feet of snow brewed up on Nederland Halloween, starting off the 2009 ski season with a bang. Check out ski journalism at its finest y'all. RIGHT HERE. Ski Lifetsyle: It's in the Family.

Manifestation, Wildness and the Artful Life. Thursday, July 16, 2009. After weeks of rain, summer has finally arrived. The water in the Lehigh. River is chilly after all the showers and grey skies. We guides at Whitewater Challengers are happy to have enough water to keep the rafts floating. There is not much worse than a day of dragging. Rafts down the river bed.

Training Blog: The Mongolia Project: Scheming
http://mongoliaproject.blogspot.com/2010/02/scheming.html
Training Blog: The Mongolia Project. Saturday, February 20, 2010. Since my visit to Crested Butte, I have come to an understanding about myself and steep skiing. The experience at the Butte was life changing. I want more. I am especially stoked to travel with some chicks. With gear. With experience. With transportation. Maybe a ski movie? A pink glove holding an ice axe? We are in training for a humanitarian mission, American Gypsies studying nomadism in Mongolia? This is a multi-disciplineary project: s...
