There are a finite number of times we get to do anything and after the first time it’s a count. We only get to look at the sky so many times in a life. There are a finite number of rainstorms and seasons that we’ll witness, and the number seems so big until it doesn’t. We never know when will be the last time we taste something or see someone or do anything at all. And for all the money in the world, time is not for sale no matter what the doctors say when we beg for more of it toward the end, finally seeing that we forgot to count the raindrops.

Today is an anxious day.
I follow two guys that climb Mt. Everest regularly - one operates a climbing/guide company and the other is a climber + a photographer. I discovered them in 2016 with the “Everestnofilter” hashtag and got hooked. They attempted to climb in 2016 with no supplemental oxygen, which is TERRIFYING to think about, and have tried again the past 2 years with oxygen as well as without.
Anyway... they’re working on climbing Everest this year from two different routes. Cory and his partner are climbing a totally new route and Adrian is leading a rapid ascent team up the North face route. They started out for their respective summit pushes this morning, which means that this is it.
I am always terrified that something horrible is going to happen to them, so if you’re into this kind of thing, send some positive thoughts to Everest and to these guys because they a MILLION PERCENT can use them.
