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 […]

Season one, Issue one of xXc Magazine is now available. It is the brainchild of Jason Mahokey, outstanding author of The Soiled Chamois.

Aspirations

A few things I need to do: Write a book. I have the general idea on paper, and even 20 or so pages roughed out. But it needs an over-arching theme. A point. In terms of style or format – think Desert Solitaire (of course). The Grizzly Cast. It needs my attention. And doing so […]

Of Sand and Snow

Something has changed. The air is warmer and the snow is heavier. Has winter turned a corner? Is it starting to ease its grip on the coming spring? Perhaps. Saturday people were skiing in powder that was very nearly too deep. “The deepest day of the year” everyone is saying. I regretfully was unable to […]
