not dead.

Oh, dear, has it been a month since I've updated? I have some photos of our last backpack of the summer (in which we got hailed on and snowed on and nearly lightninged on and cliffed out on our Mt. Oso approach attempt) but I am still trying to extract a small enough number that actually might make people want to look at them. I have some photos of the landscaping we've been doing, but I need to take some more so that you can see how beautiful it looks now that it's finished, except that it's not quite finished.

Stuff coming up in my life: Marathon in two weeks. Election. Hopefully going to get the boat out of drydock and go cruising this winter except there are all sorts of unforeseen complications. So, what's new with you?
