On Sunday, I got back from a twelve day, eleven night driving, hiking, and backpacking trek through Glacier, Yellowstone, and Grand Teton National Parks. Over the course of the trip, we drove about 2,000 miles, backpacked 55 miles, spent ten straight nights in tents, and took maybe four showers. We ate enough granola bars and [...]

A Love Poem to Glacier National Park
Posted in Travel, tagged Backpacking, Glacier National Park, Photos, Poetry on September 18, 2011 | 2 Comments »
We’re in the midst of our 11 day trek through Glacier, Yellowstone, and Grand Teton National Parks. Unfortunately, I don’t have the ability to get photos off my camera until I get back to Seattle, and can’t organize my thoughts well enough yet for a proper blog post. So in lieu of cool photos or [...]
Halcyon Dragon*Con Days (or Was That “Daze”)
Posted in Travel, tagged Cons, DragonCon, Geek, Photos on September 7, 2011 | 5 Comments »
It’s hard to believe this was my third year at Con. I can distinctly remember the night over two years ago, when I was talking with some friends about this awesome-sounding thing called Dragon*Con, and decided to drive down to Atlanta pretty much on a whim and check it out. Since then, it’s been a [...]
On the Road Again: Driving the Cascade Loop
Posted in Travel, tagged Cascades, Photos, Road Trip on August 15, 2011 | 3 Comments »
Despite having lived in the Pacific Northwest for almost ten months, surrounded by the oceans and Puget Sound, I haven’t gotten out of Seattle much. I’ve only been on one day hike, and one camping trip to the Olympic Peninsula. So since summer weather in this neck of the woods (by which I mean “sunny [...]
Photography at Mukilteo Lighthouse Park
Posted in Life, tagged Mountains, Ocean, Photos, Seattle on February 20, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
It wasn’t my intention to do two photo-heavy blog entries in a row, but I ended up spending most of the afternoon with the Seattle Flickrite Meetup Group at Mukilteo Lighthouse Park, about half an hour’s drive north of Seattle, and wanted to post some of my better results. As in the last post, I’ll [...]
Today was a Good Day

Note: Clicking on any of the photos in this entry will take you to a super-large version of the picture. If your Internet speed is slow, you probably shouldn’t click. Just felt the need to exude some general warmth and satisfaction on my blog, because today was a good Saturday. It was a cloudless Februrary [...]
Savoring the Seattle Sunshine
Posted in Life, tagged Photos, Seattle on December 30, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
Seattle has a reputation for lots of rainy and overcast days, and over the past two months, I’ve learned that the reputation is pretty well-deserved. But the rain isn’t too bad; often you don’t even need an umbrella to be out in it. When it starts to get to you, though, is when you haven’t [...]

In addition to catching up on blog entries, I’m also still sorting through photos, and uploading them to Flickr.

Reminiscing from the Roan Highlands
Posted in Travel, tagged Appalachian Trail, Backpacking, Mountains, Photos, Roan Highlands, Wildflowers on June 15, 2010 | 2 Comments »
The Roan Highlands is a stretch of the Appalachian Mountains in Tennessee, and it’s famous for having some of the beautiful mountain meadows in all of Appalachia. It’s also famous for its wildflowers, particularly the rhododendrons, which bloom in June… right when we happened to be visiting. So with that in mind, I enthusiastically packed [...]
ConCarolinas ReCap
Posted in Travel, Writing, tagged ConCarolinas, Cons, Geek, Photos, Road Trip on June 7, 2010 | 1 Comment »
On Saturday I drove to Charlotte to check out ConCarolinas. Several notable authors were there, including Jerry Pournelle and John Ringo, and I also wanted a chance to try out my birthday present to myself, a Canon Rebel T1i DSLR Camera. If I want to submit any travel writing to magazines or websites that might [...]
