"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Completed on July 22, 2021July 22, 2021, I completed a 20-year project of climbing the tallest mountain in each of the 50 U.S. states.

Highpoints in progress:Climbed my first 14,'er and Colorado highpoint for my 40th birthday. Definitely a beautiful and confidence building hike.
Mt. Greylock in MA was my first highpoint, followed by RI and CT. Attempted Mt. Katahdin in ME but thunderstorms and torrential rain forced us to turn around a mile from the peak.
