Quietly Epic Trip 29 Apr 2013 | 01:17 am

I just got back from a section hike.  I really, really needed it.  Work was extremely stressful for two months (like, taking Xanax to get through the day stressful), and then after those two months of...

Packing for another trip 31 Mar 2013 | 02:37 am

I'm planning to hike the Appalachian Trail through New Jersey in a few weeks.  It's a beautiful area.  When I thruhiked in 2010, I knew I wanted to come back and spend more time.  And now I finally wi...

Please welcome my new car, and try not to mention her hips. She's touchy. 25 Feb 2013 | 05:17 am

I guess I can't NOT tell you that I bought a new car.  Eddy got too expensive and annoying to maintain.  And as much as I loved his bullet marked self, it was time for a new car.  Past time, even.  An...

Winter backpacking trip 18 Feb 2013 | 06:39 pm

DeLee and I went backpacking this weekend.  I was desperate to get out, as I am ass deep in alligators at work and backpacking helps me de-stress.  We planned a short circuit hike (6-7 miles / day) in...

JD is out and about this weekend doing nerd things.  Not that I'm not a nerd.  I am.  But we are differently nerdy.  That's not my point.  My point is that I'm solo this weekend, for a few more hours ...

In which I get shot in the butt 14 Jan 2013 | 06:27 am

On Thursday DeLee came by my house in the morning and drove me over to the Spine and Pain center.  I'm not kidding about the name. They're direct about the reason you're there. The doctor, with the ...

I apologize in advance for how long this is 9 Jan 2013 | 05:14 am

I walked through the grocery store yesterday and realized that I couldn't eat the vast majority of the foods in it.  There are whole aisles that I never go down anymore.  It was a weird feeling lookin...

In which Pluto is secretly good 7 Jan 2013 | 03:18 am

I know I already blogged once today, but some things need to be said.  Also after this you probably won't hear from me for a month, because blogging is so exhausting.  Twice in one day.  Geez. This a...
