    I will be heading in to climb the Lotus Flower Tower When the count down timer finishes. If you want to dove tail flights to save cash let me know. I will be flying into the cirque of the Unclimable’s August 2nd. You could fly in and dovetail out or flip with us. Interested let me know. Care for a guided trip I can arrange that for you also.

Run a Marathon

Even when I was young I said “one day I am going to run a marathon. Three decades have come and gone since I first had that thought. It is one lousy day. One half day of being active. I have good excuses why I didn’t run the last two that I said I was going to. One I really did have a reason, the other was a sort of. Now I am registered for the Calgary Marathon May 30th 2010. Course I was last year also

Oct, 19th, 2009: I had somebody ask me what my secret of staying in shape,or was it my training regime.  Well at 51 years of age the easiest thing to do is just to say WTF! I have done a lot of things in my time and been a lot of places. I have been the first man to step on several parts of this planet. Been the first to tread many a climbing route so shouldn’t I be allowed to crawl into some nice little suburban home and say enough is enough.

    I can see why athletes come out of retirement now. You always figure you have one more in you. One last shot that is going to make others stand up and say “that was kool”.  Maybe after 50 I can get into “For his age” catagory. If I climb Cerra Torre when I am 90 then that can be considered good for his age. Good for any age really but exceptional for somebody approaching 100 years of age.
