weekend jan 23-25



a lazy weekend as well as a lazy week

obama is the new president... lets "hope" his idealism doesnt stray too far, in any case its a welcome change from bush.

its been very cold this week as well will be into next week, bad weather to be in the mountains, i woke up to find snow today, im hoping it will warm up so i will be able to ride my bicycle to work and not have a case of icicle-snot, i figure that will be a while from now though...

i went for a short hike with tommy, susan, penny, & lucy (puppy) to eagle creek, it was cold and had some light snow, with a packed-snow trail after ~500ft of elevation gain, while heading back susan mentioned to me in conversation that she hates to turn around, although this is such a simple concept its one i enjoy thinking about... the way back always seems arduous, i wonder what effect my hike will have for future ones... i feel that each time i go out i take some sort of mental step farther into what i would like to experience, as well as what i feel possible... the completion or failure of my pct trip will surely affect my future, i hope that in the case that i fail i will not let it be decisive in what else i will accomplish.
