Saturday, October 29, 2011. I like to travel by train. Much of it stems from exploring Europe well developed network of rails. There is something very comfortable, intimate and relaxing about letting someone else take control and just enjoying the ride. So when Amtrak's 40th Anniversary exhibit. Rolled into town I made sure to check it out. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). In October 2006 I took the plunge and applied for the Mazamas Climb Leadership Development Program.

Friday, June 24, 2011. Pedalpalooza: Hott Sock Ride. Unfortunately my Mt Deception climb suffered the same fate as Mt Ellinor and Mt Shasta. Canceled due to weather. So this evening I hoped on my bike and joined the Hot Socks ride. The ride started on the (recently re-opened) Eastside Esplanade and had a color assortment of socks. Any guesses which ones that I was wearing? Hint, it was not the Bimbo socks. This pair was the cat's meow. And check out the skulls on these socks. Sunday, June 12, 2011. Our f...

Saturday, September 22, 2012. The more I thought about it the more it made sense. I believe in bicycles. I believe in taking positive action. I believe in giving support because I have received support in the past. I am constantly reminded of the amazing vessel that carries me through the world. At the same time I am aware of how fragile it is and the many things that can go haywire. Fifteen people from Team Expeditors showed up on Sauvie Island to ride. One of which had called me last night, asking ...

Sunday, September 4, 2011. Dolomites Rollercoaster Prequel: Munich and Bolzano. It was 10:00 pm when I finally arrived at my hotel room. Today's journey started by stepping outside the door of the Pian de Cengian mountain hut at an elevation of 2528 meters and ended a couple of blocks from the Milan Central Train station. I had teetered on the brink of utter exhaustion yet felt the satisfaction of fulfilling my dream of hiking from hut to hut in the Italian Dolomite mountains. It seemed fitting that I wo...

Monday, May 30, 2011. The slugs have been continuing their assault on in the red cabbage in my garden. This time my latest salvo will be High Gravity. I hope they will enjoy its distinctly bold taste. Saturday, May 14, 2011. Mazamas Basic Climbing Education Program 2011. One of the assistant instructors suggested that we have a team nickname. I thought that was a brilliant idea. After tossing around a variety of ideas our team selected the "Glissade Brigade". Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). The content of th...

Sunday, February 6, 2011. My housemate and I had a some friends over for vegetarian brunch. There was a nice spread of food, including German Apple Pancake. However, the biggest hit seemed to be our neighbor Hal the horse. Here are some photos of Hal getting some rock star attention. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Saturday, August 27, 2011. Saturday my friend Edgar ventured to Mount Hood National Forest for a hike. He brought his 7 month old puppy along. It has been some time since I have hiked with a dog and I was reminded of many of the pleasures of doing so. I'm certain she covered twice the mileage that Edgar and I did, plus tested out the water in all of the various stream that we crossed. Sunday, August 21, 2011. Expeditors PDX Company Picnic.
