Christmas Treats


One of my gifts this year was a number of Asian treats from my (soon to be official) Canadian brother Travis and his Canadian wife Kerry.

I have tried the chocolate Pocky's and the Pineapple cakes. Both pretty good. I suspect the strawberry Pocky's will be just like the chocolate version, only a different flavor.


My favorite thing is that the pineapple cakes are vegetarian. Great.


The one's I'm very curious about still are the Keo Me tamarind candy. I'm not sure what to make of them, but when I find out, I'll let you know.

Just thought I'd share. Thanks Travis n Kerry. I look forward to more Asian treats from you in the future.

A lot has happened

 Hey there, been a while since I rapped atcha So... things have changed around here as of late Recently I lost my job. Not like, I misplaced it, but I was let go. Not gonna say more about it all than, it's been a change that I am very much still in the middle of.  Still, one foot before the other. Honestly, besides that, not much else has changed.  Call me a liar or an idiot. I won't deny the allegations.  Keep it rubber-side down out there.

A new year

First, Happy New Year! I'm not much for resolutions. I'm more of a "steady and constant" change kind of person. That is the kind of change that sticks with me. Tweaking life, bit by bit. Writing this is difficult. Not because it is a hard subject but my thoughts and words have been elsewhere for a while. Regardless, here's a little something. Call them resolutions if you want. Call them my hopes. Plans. Dreams. Here's what I'm aiming for with 2015. Nine, Ten, Eleven and Twelve.  I am going to expand my volunteerism. More often. More places. Take V to Madison and Milwaukee. Ride at least one trail that I have never ridden before. Ride in a state I haven't ridden before. Hug more Love more That's enough. Time for some Nine. Hope you have an amazing 2015!

This is long overdue, I realize but, you know, life. A couple quick thoughts post trip. 1 - This was considerably less wilderness-y than I had expected. Not that it was a bad thing but I had not expected latrines and nice campsites. I had expected people especially on the weekends. Though we only saw one other pair of long distance hikers during the entire trip. Everyone else was day hikers. 2 - I would do this again. I would like to try this same section again. Other parts of the SHT. I would like to try winter hiking up there. AND I want to try hiking other areas. This has awoken a new love for me. I love my bike and this won't replace it, but this was a lot of fun. The whole thing. It was hard work sometimes. But I learned alot. And I would like to push myself to do more and to do some harder stuff. I could see a trip out West to cover some of the Rockies for sure. The crew for the trip consisted of Jeff, Scott and myself. That’s it. A hearty trio! Anyway, enough of t...
