View Klickitat Run in a larger map
I’m slowly gearing up for a run up to Klickitat. I want to get up there and take a look. It can be a very relaxing place.

My MP3 player was dead this morning. I didn’t have NPR or music during my morning commute.

It is an exercise in self-disciple, curiosity, and hard-headedness. I sit in front of a keyboard, typing (just like I am right now) for hours and hours and hours. There are days when I really would rather be somewhere else. Riding. Swimming. Lifting weights. Working with my hands. Getting laid. Sleeping. But here I sit… typing, solving problems, thinking about ‘stuff.’
