Being the loyal, daily, unemployed reader that you are, you may recall when I quickly jotted down (or escribir’ed) a note about the athlete meeting held for Team Prospect, the Wasatch’s group of regional Smith, Skullcandy, and Spacecraft shredders. Since … Continue reading →
On my first bike tour, from Kalispell, Montana to Chesterland, Ohio (~2,400 miles), my bike featured a dynamic if not temporary bumper sticker. So on my 2011 follow-up bike trip, around Hawaii’s big island of…Hawaii, I was fascinated to learn that … Continue reading →
Something about riding bikes with brakes (in contrast to those without) makes me want to ski powder really, really badly. And while this sometimes manifests itself in a bizarre mixture of the two, they are normally distinctly disconnected. But while … Continue reading →

Mountain biking on Thursday. Kayaking on Friday. First big snow Friday night. Park City Ski Swap on Saturday.Back to the Ski Swap to visit old friends on Sunday.
…continued from yesterday’s part 1. It is obvious and true that every trip I plan introduces its own set of difficulties. Money, logistics, communication, and weather present predictable travel issues in nearly every part of the world. These barriers exhibit … Continue reading →
[ed note: originally started on 9.7.11] Perhaps it’s difficult to wrap your head around the significance of “living nowhere.” It isn’t homelessness. It isn’t impassivity. It isn’t indifference towards showers, armoires, girlfriends, or material objects. Nor is it a decision … Continue reading →
I don’t have time to write a good story today. Please check back tomorrow! Instead, enjoy some Halloween. I dressed up as a Dream Catcher for Halloween the last few nights. I did this to my new car, too. Happy … Continue reading →
Saltcycle.com is one of my daily irounds. I have it in my Google Reader account because the editors and writers there don’t post bad stuff. Each and every post is well-written, edited, and full of quality content. They just posted … Continue reading →
(last) Friday 4am: wake up in freezing cold RV, realize that previously-planned driver to airport completely forgot about us and slept in Park City, and pack car to drive to airport. include recently-received MomCookies. 5am: arrive at airport parking, wait … Continue reading →
Last week, the intermountain West regional Smith/Skullcandy/Spacecraft ski and snowboard team, endearingly referred to as Team Prospect (as if we’re a group of underprivileged gold-miners) , convened on Salt Lake City’s grassy Sugarhouse Park for an early evening of discussion, pizza, and the only “sport” … Continue reading →
The ski season is (thank god) fast approaching. Because of that, this is one of the busiest times of the year for me. As the snow tires are installed (for those that actually have cars), I begin to more frequently … Continue reading →
continued from part 1 and part 2 When the climbing began, the climbing seriously began. Those Koreans climbed hard. I’ve climbed at quite a few climbing areas over the last 5 years, and those little Asian guys could seriously pull. … Continue reading →
continued from part 1 After climbing the first day, Sonia, Jean and I camped at the base of the sport climbs we found when we first arrived. This would prove to be one of the only times I had to … Continue reading →
Two weeks of Korean Hollywood was enough for me. I could no longer put up with kissing babies, staring into bright lights, walking on red carpets, and wearing girl stage makeup. Steep rock beckoned. Calluses disappeared. 2 weeks passed without … Continue reading →
I make so much fun of those stupid Vibram Five Finger “shoes.” Why I do it is simple: they look absolutely ridiculous. But many people would say that it’s impolite and unethical of me to make fun of something behind … Continue reading →
Sunday was unquestionably the most crowded I?ve ever seen the Wasatch Mountain?s Little Cottonwood Canyon. Heading up for some afternoon trad climbing, Tim and I were greeted with swollen parking lots, route queues, and a distinct lack of the wild … Continue reading →
I suppose that since I’m in the future, I might as well share the past with you. By future, I mean that I’m sitting on a brand new, empty bus that is taking me from Salt Lake City to Park … Continue reading →
October 1st was one of the unreasonable days of my life. I decided to ride my bicycle from Salt Lake to Park City. By highway (I-80 E), this 30-minute/30-mile trip is a frequent daily commute for residents of either city. … Continue reading →
I’m kayaking in an icy whitewater river while looking up at snow covered mountains today. So, excuse the brief post. [ed note: originally written 8.9.11] I forget what the post-title acronym that I created even stands for.
