The day started early. Jess had to get to the Staten Island ferry to catch a ride to the marathon start. Krista and I rode with her on the subway to her last stop. After saying our goodbye and good luck, Krista and I continued on the line up into downtown Manhattan. We revisited many…

NYC Day 2 – The Walk
Krista would be coming later in the day, so got up and headed for our first task of the day, coffee. One of the things I resolved to do on this trip was to spend quality time with a mug/cup of coffee in hand and good company by my side each day. With aid of Yelp,…

This year has expanded my borders. A couple of months ago, I visited the eastern seaboard of the U.S. for the first time on a work trip and last month, we ventured out on a multi-city/country excursion to New York City and then to Scotland. We were in NYC for the NYC Marathon and decided,…

On a few occasions over the past couple months I had my camera with me in the evenings and decided to take some shots of the open skies. Somehow each time I’ve been out, the moon has been…

Grounded: A long day made longer
I woke early this morning, quickly and quietly gathering my items, most of which were already packed away. Pulling my phone out, I noticed that I had a missed call and voice mail. Looking at the number, I recognized it from my travels earlier in the week as the Delta “your life just got a…

The Bridger Ridge
There’s nothing quite as symbolic of Bozeman than the mountains that surround it, notably the Bridger Mountains in the Gallatin Range. Its ridgeline extends NNW from the east side of town. It’s a recreational paradise with a ski resort and countless trails for both the leisurely walk and the adventurous explorer. Of all the trails…

The Spanish Lakes
A few weeks back we went on an overnight backpacking trip with some friends to visit the Spanish Lakes amongst the Spanish Peaks in the Gallatin Range. It was a fairly easy hike, with the only appreciable elevation gain at the end of the trail. We made it up to the lakes well before sunset,…
