I went hiking up Mount Si today. Click below to see the full post for details and lots of pictures.

On somewhat of a wild hair, I met up with some people I met online dinner tonight in Mt. Vernon. It was fun and hopefully I’ll hang out with them again some other time. Tomorrow is the second attempt at hiking Little Si. Gotta get up early for that, so I should [...]

I just realized I never blogged about my swimming plans for Friday… Anyhow, I showed up but nobody was there to let me in. I waited for a while before giving up and going home. Afterwards, I sent an email to the organizer and his response made it clear that I’d been [...]

I was going to go on a hike this morning with Outventures. However, because the weather outlook for tomorrow (0% chance of rain, possibly sunny) seemed a lot better than today’s (cloudy with 70% chance of rain), we decided to postpone until tomorrow. Still, we went and got breakfast, where I had some conversation [...]

On Friday, I’m going to check out Orcas Master’s swim team to see what it’s like. In preparation over the past week or so, I’ve upped my workout time from my usual 30-40 minutes up to 45 minutes last week, 55 on Monday and then 65 last night. The practices are 75 minutes, [...]

My domain name didn’t get renewed the other day despite me having paid my webhost a few weeks ago. That of course stopped my site from showing up. The most annoying part is that the exact same thing happened last year. Fortunately, it’s all back up again.

This afternoon, I went to the store to buy the ingredients for a key lime pie. Since it was such a nice day, I decided to walk over to QFC instead of driving to Safeway, figuring they would probably have the limes at QFC too. I looked around for a while before finding [...]

I finally got around to taking a picture of me with my new glasses. I look sleepy in this photo, but at least you can see the new glasses:

Also, on my way back from the post office (dropping off the movies I watched this morning), I took this shot which shows how clear and [...]

I go out on Friday night (for an hour) and I come home on Saturday morning (and watch movies). I’ll be very impressed if anybody gets this reference. Give up? Look here.
Anyhow, I was chatting with this guy (who I’d actually first seen and messaged on MySpace) last night. He said [...]

Today, I heard back from the Orca Swim Team people. It sounds like it could be just what I’m looking for. Apparently, Keenan has worked out with them in the past too and says they’re a good group. The guy I emailed told me if I wanted to come by some time [...]
