The quiet drive with Roland went by just as I hoped. It could only be described as that quintessential scene in a movie where its just a man and his dog silent enjoying the simply things together. Rolling down the road together, epitomizing the bond between a man and his dog, neither belonging to each … Continue reading Scouts and the AT day 1 part 1.

A Friend Indeed
Friday was a terrible day, if it could go wrong it did. It started off at work, I had made a mistake and it was not a small one. I wont get into it, never the less the day was starting off craptastic. I headed out to get Roland and found him ready and excited … Continue reading A Friend Indeed
Sick Day
It was slow today, we didn't have much work to do so my mind wandered between jobs. To and fro, from this person to that, always coming back to the trail. I could not concentrate for the life of me. I have been feeling out of place lately. Lost, a feeling of not belonging, that … Continue reading Sick Day
Sights and Sounds
Sunday I took Roland for yet another hike through White Clay Creek State Park. I had met a teacher that week and she had given her students an assignment that she thought I would like too. She send them outside to enjoy the fall day and to write what they saw, smelled, heard, and felt. … Continue reading Sights and Sounds
Chance Encounters
It has become very apparent over the past decade that no wherever I go I make friends. I am overly outgoing, friendly and talkative; everyone I meet is a fast friend. These fast friends grow in not only numbers but in the relationship as well. I see these friends in all my travels, sometimes weeks … Continue reading Chance Encounters

30 May 2014 French Creek State Park
Chase and I headed out without a GPS and map. We were armed just with printed directions. This trip was quite a few firsts for Chase. It was his first time as the dedicated co-pilot, as well as navigating without technology. As it turns out, the printed directions were total crap. This endeavor would be … Continue reading 30 May 2014 French Creek State Park
The Storm
In our lives as with in every day, there are ups and downs. yesterday was one of those great downs. We have been short handed at work lately, so unfortunately my days off have become normal work days. Being two men short has been very stressful and taxing. I was looking forward to this weekend … Continue reading The Storm
Lost and Found
It has been a while since I have written anything. I find myself becoming distracted more and more, not due to lack of focus but due to life. What was it John Lennon said? "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans." I could not agree more. Work, wine, and whims have been … Continue reading Lost and Found
