So there you are, out for a hike all by yourself, trotting through the late summer pines and aspens on a sunny weekday afternoon in a local park.

TAKING ON DOMINIC
Hello and welcome back to my blog. Most of us can remember at least one unforgettable character from our middle school years that we either despised or had an altercation with. Mine was a kid named Dominic. And yes, we sparred. Being a scrawny little guy through most of my teen-aged years did not allowContinueContinue reading “TAKING ON DOMINIC”
How You Doin’?
Hello again.
