So, last week I bartended another wedding, and in typical Methow Valley fashion the whole affair ended sometime around 2300. I was left sitting around a fire all by myself until some company joined me, and we stared into the burning embers until the wee hours. When I woke in the morning, the long grass in which I slept was not covered with the...

A quick catch up,

We saw 4 Rattlers on the trail on the way back, 2 of which Eric,...

The Math of my Winter

I was only supposed to be in Rhode Island for about 30 days when I came in December. It's now been about 90 days. When I drove across country, I thought that I had guaranteed work back in Washington in February and March but it fell through. I was subsequently left with no income and 11 monthly bills, 7 of...
