Michael, Last Friday I was invited to a 60th birthday party of one of my climbing buddies, Fred T. Fred and I climbed together at Great Falls (in VA) and Seneca Rocks (WV) for many years. Then he went west to Boulder, and started climbing the big stuff. I visited him several times, and we […]
Michael,Beth and I had been reading in the local papers about Elk bugling during the on-going mating season, so we decided to drive up to Rocky Mountain National Park and hear the bugling for ourselves. When I flashed my geezer pass at the entrance gate, I asked the ranger there, where is a good place […]
Rakkity emailed this to me today. Some might find it cute, but as one who has waged full scale assaults on those critters, all I can think of is where did I put my rifle. You might want to turn your sound off. The background music will Velcro itself to your gray matter.
Michael, After getting out of the hospital (again) today my docs/nurses said to go easy on the exercise. So I was on a post dinner amble around the house long after sunset. I saw something moving out of the corner of my eye. There were dozens of these little unidentified flitting critters sucking on the […]
Michael, You can remove Funny Business from the Upcoming.  My next photo collection will be one of the following: 1. The canals of Boulder  (probably should wait till the spring runoff for this one.) 2. The fountains of Boulder (I might combine this with #3) 3. Boulder’s outdoor art–not including murals & bronzes  (This […]
Michael, One of the first things we noticed after coming to Boulder (Jan/2007) was the wealth of non-traditional and funny-named businesses. I’ve been collecting names and photos (and sometimes web pages) for 7 months now. There are a couple of businesses/buildings I’m not sure the purpose of, and I included one that is completely obscure. […]
Michael, The last week or so I’ve been going on very short trips, since I just had a big (successful) operation. After my Boulder doctor back in July recommended an operation which would leave me with limited mobility for the rest of my life, I asked for a second opinion. One of the names was […]
Michael, Patrick told us that he and Georgia drove down through NH on their way back from Canada, and stopped in at Grok Hill. They drove up past the Littells,who didn’t appear to be home, and parked at the bottom of Beech Lane. The pictures show the rifugio and the campfire spot that generations of […]

Hi Mike,Patrick & Georgia just returned from a trip to Quebec, and provide this JAlbum album. It was their first visit to Canada together, and they spent time in Montreal & Quebec City, which they preferred by far. In fact this album has no pictures of Montreal! How come?There are also some pictures of Gilsum, […]
Michael, For her 23rd birthday, Beth & I promised Katie a horseback ride in the Boulder area. So when Katie dropped into Denver from her latest Americorps projects, we brought her back up to Boulder and made a call to our friendly cowboy Fred. Fred has given up mountain climbing to be a part-time cowboy. […]
Mike, It’s been quite a while since I climbed a “real” mountain (i.e. one over 13,000 ft high) and I wanted to know if I could still do it in my late middle age. So I looked up at the Indian Peaks from 75th St, and thought about which one I hadn’t climbed. Navajo! It’s […]
