With My Father’s Death, I Switched Blog Platforms and Just Wrote

This year started with my father dying. For the past two months, I’ve ridden the peaks of feeling “healed” to the troughs of indifference. My father was the last of my two loving parents to die. Now, I’m an orphan. I can’t remember a more unsettling or isolating loneliness. I always try to tease out lessons, though, from hard situations. In my father’s death, it’s been the reminder of my…

Latergram: Me on the peak of Green Mountain last weekend. 6.9 miles with 2,700 in elevation gain. It’s the first of many training hikes, as I’m making it my goal to do the Keyhole Route of Longs Peak next season. That will entail a 13.6 miles hike with about a mile in elevation gain topping out at 14,259 feet. It also has some class 3 scrambling with a few “no fall” areas. It’s not Everest, but it’s a fun goal for someone who spent most of his life at sea level.
