It does not look like I will have my contact form sorted out before I hit the trail. I am simply too busy with life to sit at a computer and debug stuff. I will look into seeing if I can get an admin to help me. I do not even know how to login … Continue reading “Contact”
Walking the PCT is a game. Games have rules of play. I have been pondering the type of video to make. Watching so many others on Youtube has helped clarify things I like and do not like. I like raw. I do not like contrived. Contrived,” like, one sets the camera down and films oneself … Continue reading “More Rules”
After looking into it, rather than comments for each post, I saw the simple thing was to provide a secure contact form for anyone who visits my site. Hosting a comment forum without an additional admin person is impossible for me at this time. I simply cannot monitor my site that frequently.

Haha. April Fool’s.
Art. This journey is about art. Also, I need to save my life. If I do not go out on this journey now, I will die. That is a sub-purpose, however; I do art whether any body I use survives or not. I will get many more years of life from this particular mortal shell … Continue reading “Purpose”
I have been trying to produce a clear list of goals for the 2026 Pacific Crest Trail trip. Typically when faced with a problem, I attack it. Win or lose, I win. If I win, I win. If I lose, I win because I now know how to win the next time. In that spirit, … Continue reading “The Journey Rules”
You are looking at a great view, like a canyon or a mountain range, the clouds or the stars, and someone says, “That makes me feel small.” Usually, they will have all this gooey wonder in their voice and say it like this, “Doesn’t that make you feel small?” No. Looking at something big does … Continue reading “Do You Feel Small When You Look At Something Big?”
