I read about Dr. Weinstein in the Globe last night, and then I found a review on the web of his upcoming lecture to send to Adam. Adam wrote back, “A man after my own heart, in that I sense that he would likely ascribe to my conviction that intention and grace — in whatever […]
Hi Katie, Yesterday I returned to civilization from our Escalante side-canyons trip. At our base camp, the wind blew like a banshee all day and every day. But on our hikes down into the canyons we were protected from the winds and it was warmer and more fun. We day-hiked in 2 canyons — Horse […]
