Snow and Ice Climbing in the Cascade & Alaska Ranges

So, I’m planning a trip out to either the Cascades in Washington or to Alaska Range sometime next spring or summer to do some mountaineering, and I’m looking for interested and potential climbing partners.

Mt. Lindsey & Blanca Peak

A couple of my recent additions to Wikipedia –

Mt. Lindsey, a fourteener in the southern end of the Sangre de Cristo Range in Colorado, U.S., taken during descent.

Don Norman Shower Faucets

So, when I first moved into the apartment I’m now living in, I did not shower the first day.

Yes, you read that right. This was not because I’m particularly into that sort of thing (or not). Not because it hurt my religious sentiments (not that I have any to speak of). Not even because I’m lazy. And not because I did not have the water turned on or because I was a hippie (or French).

Nope, none of those reasons.

The reason I did not shower on my very first day at my apartment was because — get this — I could not figure out how to turn the shower on.

My Latest Toy: The Chopper Patrol

This is a new toy that I picked up at Target for $9.99 — one that has been entertaining me quite a bit for the past couple of weeks.

Oktoberfest 2006 - Zinzinnati, USA

Oktoberfest Stein.

Gestern war Octoberfest und es war guter Spaß! Wir tranken gutes Bier und aßen gute Deutsche Nahrung. Persönlich ich liebe wirklich Sauerkraut, Apfelstrudel, Kartoffelpfannkuchen und Hefeweizen (und Dunkles) Bier. Es war ein Spaßabend.

Prost!

Of Women, Drink & Medieval Times

I know, that title caught your eye. But on to the topic, last week was a lot of fun.

Delana, my fiancée, was visiting me, and that usually tends to be an occasion for us to go out, enjoy some wonderful food and generally have a good time together.

For the food, we discovered some really nice restaurants in Cincinnati. And for the good-time part, we went to the Ohio Renaissance Festival, which was awesome!
