Rainier Update
The wait is finally over (for all of us)! My second attempt on Mt. Rainier is complete.
Drumroll please….
Office Eulogy / Training Update
Lamenting the current state of my home office while celebrating a big win as I enter week 9 of Rainier training. A small price to pay in the grand scheme of things if you’re a normal person; a large price to pay (still worth if, of course) if 50% of your ability to function comes from cleanliness. Oh well. Won’t be mad about it at 14,410’, right?
Mammoth Cave Weekend
Our intended Washington vacation couldn’t happen in 2025 so we decided to find some alternative nonsense: spelunking. Mammoth Cave, KY trip diary, recommendations, and tour insights here!
2025 Reflection
A big thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey so far! 2025 is finally over (phew!) but a lot was accomplished and I’m excited about all that 2026 has in store.
