I have not jogged in a couple of weeks. I have been hiking on the weekends and will be backpacking again this weekend. I thought i would go for a jog tonight to get a little more exercise. I was pleasantly surprised to see that I beat my old time by about 20 seconds. It […] Jacob and I set out on an adventure with another troop in the area that is going to Philmont Scout Ranch the same week as we are.

He has finished his training at Smart and Final and is now a contributing member of society. He has to go to work early some days, 6 AM and stays late some days, 9PM. It is a intriguing feeling to “sleep in” to 6:00 AM knowing that Eric is already at […] Today was a training hike to prepare the scouts for a Trek at Philmont Scout Ranch this summer.

We made out way to the trail head parking and Emily started up her phone application to track the exercise. She asked if we were ready and I said yes. […] I really did not know how to title this one. Perhaps “Double Sunset” would have worked. The first possible sunset could be considered when opossum number two left this earthly existence early this morning. It has only been a couple of weeks from the time opossum number one was found dead on the concrete in […] This evening it started to cool do so I felt like going out for a walk. I did not intend to walk very far, but I was enjoying the light breeze of the evening. I meandered us Mt. Rubidoux as the sun was getting low in the western sky. I was a little intrigued that […] |
