A Little About Me
"Hypoxia is my favorite form of dementia"
Scotty Strachan
Live it up, fill your cup, drown your sorrow
And sow your wild oats while ye may
For the toothless old tykes of tomorrow
Were the Tigers of Yesterday"
As sung by Tom Patey, from "The Last of the Grand Old Masters"
"It is not the goal of grand alpinisme to face peril, but it is one of the tests one must undergo to deserve the joy of rising for an instant above the state of crawling grubs"
Lionel Terray
“The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping-stone in the pathway of the strong.”
Thomas Carlyle
"Maintain thy airspeed, lest the earth rise up and smite thee."
Unknown, possibly attributed to Wolfgang Langwiesche, author of Stick and Rudder
"Mere precedent is a dangerous source of authority."
Andrew Jackson, 7th U.S. President
