About Me

"One final paragraph of advice: Do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am - a reluctant enthusiast... a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it's still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, encounter the grizz, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for awhile and contemplate the precious stillness, that lovely, mysterious and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive, and I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound people with their hearts in a safe deposit box and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this: You will outlive the bastards."- Edward Abbey

It’s too early.

Three days in a hotel room can make a girl loopy.  As you can see, I've had lots of time to update my blog. I hate Allentown.  We got lost last night because I had the great idea to find a p...

Hope’s the word.

Life has been weird lately.  For starters, it's pretty hard for me to get used to being unemployed.  I've dreamed of it since I was 15, but now that I have no job I'm totally bored!  I'...
