You are angry about something. “Clam down,” I text you. You assume I have made a typo, but in fact I am holding a small soldier clam in my hands. He died so young. War is hell

What reminds you of the last person you really liked **romantically**

A sense of wonder. A careless abandon of inhibition. An intrigue of life. It’s all that really gets to me

We bumped elbows like electric rubber motor boats in amusement park playground/ My bumper stick read "Don't tip over my cup of freshly poured"/ You didn't have a bumper sticker, just a beard/ From within it you smooth tongue poemed me out’ve my lunch money for the week/ For the past 3 days I've read "waiters" to wipe the hunger off my elbows/ Next time you go filling chairs be careful of how long the winter air hugs onto your breath/ Cuz the inevitable fall of being a waiter is not catching it.

This is one of my favorite messages ever, tbh

Caught the sunrise while hiking up the half dome cables. Not sure of many better moments in my life. This one is definitely up there. I was about 3/4’s of the way up, a little tired, a little exhausted, a little cold. Very excited. I took a deep breath to haul myself up the next section, and I felt a sudden warmth above my bandana on the back of my neck. I turned around, suspended by only my hands wrap around the cables, and the familiar glow of the earth’s sun crowning above the Sierra Nevadas gave me the energy I needed to bounce up the last few stretches to the summit of half-dome. We spent well over an hour, and I was just the 5th person that morning to touch the top of the rock face. More to come from Adventure Yosemite.
