Rocky Raccoon Race Report
First, the good news: I DNF’d my 62-mile race at mile 48 because of an equipment malfunction. The waistlight that had been so reliable through many a prior ultra went kaput for no discernable reason. It’s possible that one of the times during this ultra that I tripped on an exposed root and faceplanted on the trail, the light broke my fall and broke itself in the process. Whatever the reason, I f

| I've started reading (and for two of the books, rereading) Yep's Golden Mountain series, thinking of my late mother. She got me "Child of the Owl" when I was a kid and it became my favorite book. ...more | |

I was initially put off by the slow pace, but once I got to the scary parts -- well, they were really, deliciously scary. Also I liked Bongo. Ultimately a good, creepy read. UPDATE: The audiobook is terrific, and on that I've upped my rating to five s ...more |

| 4.5 stars. I love discovering writers who are new to me, and Zafon is today's discovery. This was exciting and suspenseful throughout. The bad guy occasionally devolved into bad-guy-monologuing, but otherwise I found this solidly entertaining. Fine a ...more | |

| I had enjoyed a few of Yep's books when I was a kid, so I decided to read and re-read some more of them now. This one took me a bit to get into, as Winnie is awfully bratty at the start (borderline sadistic -- locking a sentient creature in and makin ...more | |

“It had nothing to do with gear or footwear or the backpacking fads or philosophies of any particular era or even with getting from point A to point B.
It had to do with how it felt to be in the wild. With what it was like to walk for miles with no reason other than to witness the accumulation of trees and meadows, mountains and deserts, streams and rocks, rivers and grasses, sunrises and sunsets. The experience was powerful and fundamental. It seemed to me that it had always felt like this to be a human in the wild, and as long as the wild existed it would always feel this way.”
