PICTURE OF THE DAY -- 02/20/2009

Trent, Mike, and Nathan
Ready to hike!

Barry took this picture on Mike's camera on January 17 as the three guys were leaving the parking lot and setting off to hike the first segment of the Colorado Trail. It was a 2-day hike with an overnight campout in the snow.

I'd be doing good just to get the pack on my back!
And check out the firewood strapped on the back of Mike's backpack!

PICTURE OF THE DAY -- 02/19/2009

Guess who this is!

Check this out!

Here I sit, hands poised over the keyboard -- and my mind is a blank! I can't seem to find anything to write about these days, and so I haven't been writing. Is this called writer's block? Maybe, but at least my livelihood is not depending on it. If it did, we would be starving! It is so much easier right now to stick on my headphones and type what someone else says rather than to come up with my own words.

So maybe I should do the "picture of the day" thing again for awhile until my mind comes back to me... Yes, I think that might be a really good idea.
