Backpacking to Silver Lake
August without any smoke in the sky is the time to go high in the Olympics. Snow is pretty much melted away, and the days are warm and the nights are just pleasant. I hiked to Silver Lake last year for a day hike (Fantastic Day Hike!), but wanted to stay the night and then…

The Snow is Melting
I am excited about the summer! In Washington State, the first sign of impending adventure is the opening of the mountain passes. Chinook Pass to be specific and the road to some of my favorite destinations is open as of Memorial Day Weekend! We spent some time in the mountains and traversed the pass finding…

The choice is impossible
Beach or mountains? Which do you prefer? Why? I just can’t decide! I look at the montage of images in my mind of all the beaches… the soft sand seeping up in between my toes, the beautiful sunsets, the waves and the way they wash over me, powerful and at the same time calming. Then…

Merry Christmas!
I had a few days off and finally sat down at my computer after a busy December. I plugged in some featured that idealized my own living room into the AI photo creator and this is what came out. Our own golden retriever is much more fluffy and our weather is just so stereotypical Northwest…

Health Care Black Holes – insurance gaps
I’ve decided to post the problems when I see them: gaping, unjust elements of our healthcare system that need to be fixed. Now if we could just have a few politicians believe in doing the right thing no matter who donated cash to their political party machine… anyone… Bueller? I’ve decided not to put out…

Prostate cancer
I started this post a long time ago, but found so many other things to write about that were easier to deal with than cancer. Cancer still is the ultimate disease, and we as a human race fear it probably more than any other. Any organ of the body can be affected, and for men,…

Spring landing
Over the weekend, spring landed in Poulsbo. At least that is when I noticed it. Spring break just ended, the NCAA tournament has wrapped up, and I took a few days off of work. I went out to the yard and landed on my hands and knees, and started pulling weeds. The ground was slightly wet…
