Approaching the line

October 15, 2021February 9, 2022

Paddling whitewater has been a lifelong pursuit of mine, maybe because I’m decades into it and still picking up new things. I’ve learned a lot about technique, reading water, and …

Dreams Awake

August 24, 2021September 26, 2022

We’re fresh from another adventure in northern Maine, our first visit since 2018. The slogan “Vacationland” is on a lot of the license plates up here, and that’s about right. …

An Upright Pursuit

August 12, 2021August 5, 2022

Changing Course

April 24, 2021September 8, 2021

Making Connections

February 19, 2021March 15, 2021

While hockey and seafood are both held on ice, they aren’t really connected…unless you happen to be watching a cooking show called Plates and Skates. This new Youtube series pairs …

More Than Meets The Eye

January 27, 2021January 6, 2023

One of the more elusive things to see in the wild is a wolf. I saw my first one in Yellowstone some years ago, and have been fortunate enough to …

School Days

December 22, 2020September 8, 2021
