  • Movie: The Man without a Past

    A simply told story of a Finnish man who must start a new life when he loses his memory. I think it is supposed to be a little cliche, but the humor is so dry that I wasn’t always sure. It’s interesting to get a peek at life in Helsinki.

  • Movie: Not One Less

    A thirteen year old girl is the only available substitute teacher for a school in a small Chinese village. Despite the fact that her students know the lessons better than she does, her character leads her to help the school in unforseeable ways. A great movie to watch while job hunting – a reminder how…

  • Autumn and Fall Colors

    I’m fortunate to be able to stay at my dad and Sarah’s house in Indian Hills where it is easy to take a break and get outdoors. I’ve been so immersed in nature this summer, I think I might have withdrawals if I were staying the city. Looking for work is a rough ride –…

  • Movie: Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter … and Spring

    This is kind of a Buddhist fairy tale. A child raised by a monk on an idyllic lake ventures out into the world and returns in a pattern that recurs eternally. It’s beautifully filmed, which I think is supposed to present the beauty of human experience as its redemption. This beauty is balanced against the…

  • Thank You

    When we started our honeymoon on the continental divide, and with it this topic on my web log, I never imagined how large an impact the log would have on our experience. Mostly I saw it as a way to record the experience and keep our friends and family up to date. As it turned…

  • Jenny Lake

    A rainbow greets us as we enter Grand Teton National Park. Ann’s parents rent kayaks for us, and we venture out onto a misty lake. The foliage around the shore is beginning to turn bright yellow and red. Like the last time we were here, the spires of Teewinot peak out only occasionally through the…

  • Day 143, Last Day

    Little Divide Lake to Scab Creek Trailhead 5 mi :: Sunny and warm Reluctantly we bid goodbye to the Wind River Range. This will probably be our last day of backpacking on the trip. I think it marks the end of our honeymoon on the continental divide as well. We still plan to spend a…

  • Day 142

    Sunrise Lake to Little Divide Lake 8 mi :: Sunny and warm Again the morning is clear, but today we have to start our exit because Ann and I are low on food. My dad has plenty, even with his abundant generosity in sharing all his goodies with us. He has reminded us that a…

  • Day 141

    Sunrise Lake 4 mi :: Sunny morning, cloudy afternoon At last, dawn brings us a clear blue sky. We have a hearty breakfast and set off towards Dragon Head peak. By the time we reach the main western ridge there are big, dark clouds rolling by, but we persevere. There is fresh snow on the…

  • Day 140

    Middle Fork Lake to Sunrise Lake 4 mi :: Overcast, cold It’s still overcast in the morning but not raining. It’s not peak bagging weather, but we need some activity so we break camp and pack along the trail a ways. After a couple of miles we reach my original destination for the trip, Lee…
