After driving 1322 miles for 20 hours, I safely arrived at the hotel I would spend the next week in. And I got pretty good gas mileage considering what I was driving! Why only a week? Well, because after my first week at my new job, I would be flying…
Last week was our Hiking Club’s scheduled hike, but due to some issues, I wasn’t able to make it. But I was able to get a hike in this morning. With K. Recently, K has mentioned that she’d like to go hiking with me one day, so we talked about…
It’s still quite amazing to think about. But one year ago, I set out from Covington, Washington, heading east, to my new home in Colorado. For the most part, the drive went better than I would have ever expected. Even considering that I was driving a brand new car over…
Back in 2015, a company called Crazy Bricks did a Kickstarter to create customized LEGO figures based on David Petersen’s Mouse Guard. At the time, I wasn’t aware of Mouse Guard, so I missed out on them. Looking at that Kickstarter, I’m actually kind of glad I missed out because…

This morning our Hiking Club heading north to Loveland, Colorado, for what was supposed to be a 4 mile hike. Continuing the theme of “Every Hike is a New Hike for Me,” I saw Devil’s Backbone for the first time. A hogback that has eroded into this rocky spine, Devil’s…
When I originally started running many years ago, I ran outside almost exclusively. Rarely would anything keep me from running outside. Rain? Outside. Snow? Outside. Cold? Outside. In fact, my running stats only made mention of the times that I ran inside. Fast forward to today, and I run almost…
This morning started off with heading to the Nederland area of Colorado for a hike. Four of us made the hike this morning which was at Lost Lake via Hessie Trail. Rated as moderate, Lost Lake was to be about a 4.1 mile lollipop route – out and back but…
