do ten hikes near my house (read all 5 entries…)
Siphon Draw 1 month ago

We hiked up the Siphon Draw Trail in Lost Dutchman State Park (Arizona) on Memorial Day. If you head all the way through the draw you can scramble up to the Flatiron, a landmark of sorts near Phoenix, but we started late in the day and didn’t feel like anything particularly strenuous. Neat hike, lots of people, and we’ll definitely head up to the Flatiron when the weather is cooler. I’d like to explore the Superstitions more for sure… though again, when it’s cooler.

For personal reference: that’s number seven.


Read one book a month (read all 3 entries…)
Another investment book 3 months ago

I read David Bach’s Smart Women Finish Rich this month, which wasn’t bad. It was a little more inspiring than Suze Orman’s women-oriented personal finance book, as well as a bit longer and more in-depth.

Not sure what I’m going to read next month – maybe some fiction! I actually finally got off my butt and got a library card, so I’ve got a whole world of options open to me. I’m a little ashamed I’ve waited so long to get one – the library was one of my favorite places as a child and it’s just as wonderful now. Books! I’m sorry I’ve neglected you.


learn to snowboard (read all 3 entries…)
On hold until next year... 3 months ago

Unless I go to South America to snowboard, there’s not going to be any more snowboarding until next winter. It’s almost 90 degrees in Phoenix today, and up in the mountains the snow has turned into miserable slushy ickiness. Doh!
