White Rim: No Exit

INEZ [struggling and laughing]: But, you crazy creature, what do you think you’re doing? You know quite well I’m dead. ESTELLE: Dead? [She drops the knife. A pause. INEZ picks up the knife and jabs herself with it regretfully.] INEZ: Dead! Dead! Dead! Knives, poison, ropes–all useless. It has happened already, do you understand? Once […]

The Road goes ever on and onDown from the door where it began.Now far ahead the Road has gone,And I must follow, if I can,Pursuing it with eager feet,Until it joins some larger wayWhere many paths and errands meet.And whither then?

It is that time again.  2 days.  2 White Rim laps. 200 miles.  I will be on my 29er SS Friday hammering as well as I can.  32×16 ought to get the job done.  Either that, or destroy my legs. I am really pretty curious how I will be feeling tomorrow.  Last year I finished in 8:54 […]

The Bombs Bursting in Air

As the howitzer shells dropped onto the northern slopes of Little Cottonwood Canyon, we dropped powder shots on the south side. Dug, Mark, Aaron, Ben and Nate. Ben dropped a cornice into the chute atop Scotties Bowl. Which on its own is not that remarkable. The front flip he did off that cornice, skied out […]

Wet Days

We wandered a little today, sort of like the Children of Israel. I blame the lack of sunlight and the heavy snowfall. Oh and Dug. Apparently, even though he was not in attendance, he was cause for our navigational confusion. And to think, I had the GPS sitting in the car the whole time. We […]
