I got lost on Blodgett Loop today. I didn't bring enough water for me and my wife and my dog all to have. I ended up rucking my dog for about 3 of every ten minutes on the back half of the trail. We were a little worried

Everyone's got a game. Play yours. You can win, depending on what rules you decide on, and what winning looks like. Just play honestly, fair, and openly. -H.

I often get sucked into the capitalist mindset, one that the ad agencies work hard to cultivate. "The tools make the artist". Especially with certain tools; I'm thinking cameras, computers, software, and instruments primarily, but others do it to a lesser extent I think. Give Gordon

Missed two in a row. Close to a habit. Moving is really difficult, but I'm in the homestretch. Two full days before I drive for 16 hours, no stopping. Then a weekend of moving into a new apartment. I'll finally be established. It bothers me that

Standing in line and there's a show... That's the wrong song. Suffering creates strength. Someone told me that today, and I knew I needed to put it in a permanent form. You cannot become strong without suffering. -H.

Why do we get sentimental for crap that we complain about the minute it's gone? The familiar holds more weight than new. See the study of how people rate value of items before and after they are told something is theirs to keep- people rate things, at nearly
