View Larger Map

Headed out today planning a normal Wasatch Loop, but legs and lungs felt okay by the time I hit the mouth of Emigration, so I decided to continue on, planning first to turn around at Sun & Moon, then at the first switchback … but despite having to stop a couple times [...]

Quote of the Day

“You have something in yourself that is fundamentally, basically good. It transcends the notion of good or bad. Something that is worthwhile, wholesome, and healthy exists in all of us …

Such goodness is synonymous with bravery. It is always there. Whenever you see a bright and beautiful color, you are witnessing your own [...]

Heat, especially rapid heat, is not something I do so [...]

An interesting take

David Weidner’s Writing on the Wall: Bill Clinton’s legacy is our financial disaster – MarketWatch

… the biggest mistake of the Clinton years regarding Wall Street and the one that rings loudest today was the repeal of Glass-Steagall, a 1933 law that effectively split investment banking and brokerages from commercial banks.

In the years leading [...]

A quick recap

Friday – Airport, then Citris Grill for yummy miso beef salad.

Saturday – Museum of Natural History at the University of Utah, then Oasis Cafe … then a homecooked meal of chicken, sautéed in olive oil and garam masala spice, with feta, hazelnut and butternut squash ravioli, accompanied by spring greens salad with a homemade [...]
