Lazy summer days
I had a climb planned for today, but it didn’t materialize so I was lazy at home for yet another day. I think it was good I didn’t climb today because I was still in a mental and physical funk from the Torment-Forbidden attempt last Thursday. The past three days I have succumbed to 3…
Garden photos
Here are some photos of the garden work that I promised to post the past couple days: View to the right of the front door. I pruned the two bushes into “umbrellas” and trimmed the lower portion of the arborvitae. View to the left of the front door. Similar pruning job – a nice clean…
Gardening
I did quite a bit of gardening today. I first trimmed a row of 50 mature arborvitae trees, a “natural fence” making a nice and straight flat top. Arborvitae’s are evergreen coniferous trees of the cypress family and are widely used as ornamental hedges and screens, particularly in cooler climates. We bought them for $1…
Black-tailed visitor
For the second day in a row, I ran at Soaring Eagle Park. However, this time it was for 70 minutes and with my friend Bjorn. It was a great run with awesome trail conditions and refreshing weather. We ran many of the trails in the park. It actually rained a bit more after my…

Mount Pugh
I forgot to mention yesterday that I had my last day at my internship at the Federal Trade Commission. I had an awesome experience working there for ten weeks and all the people were wonderful. I got to work on wide array of important cases in litigation and gained valuable knowledge in the process. The…
More Logan photos!
I began my last week of the internship today. It was another good day at work. Afterwards, I hit the gym for some shoulders and chest weights. The heat wave of the past few days appears to be over. Temperatures into the mid 90’s throughout the weekend are forecasted to lower to the low 80’s…
