Lost in Heaven
The clouds, the source of rain, one stormy night
Offered an opening to the source of dew;
Which I accepted with impatient sight,
Looking for my old sky-marks in the blue.
But stars were scarce in that part of the sky,
And no two were of the same constellation-
No one was bright enough to identify;
So 'twas with not ungrateful consternation,...

In the thick of a teeming snowfall
I saw my shadow on snow.
I turned and looked back up at the sky,
Where we still look to ask the why
Of everything below.
If I shed such darkness,
If the reason was in me,
That shadow of mine should show in form
Against the shapeless shadow of storm,
How swarthy I must be.

So I just now got a chance to look through all your pics. You and your friends know how to have a good time--outside!!
I've taken the realllllly long road to nursing school. Coming from a medical family (dad/stepdad physicians, 2 uncles physicians, 1 uncle dentist, grandpa physician, mom respiratory therapist) I was fully expected to have a medical degree by 25. I was born to rebel, though and fell in love and got married before finishing school.
Along the way, I did get a job as an Infection Control analyst in a local hospital. Now they are putting me through school to get my RN or BSN. In California, getting into nursing school is very very competitive. If I get into the 2-year program, I'll go, if I get in the BSN program, I'll go. RN to BSN programs are available everywhere as well so I'm just moving forward with my prereqs and I'll see where everything settles in the end.
Someday I hope to maybe be a nurse midwife and follow in my daddy's footsteps (ob/gyn). I think I could actually impact some lives in rural/mountain areas with that type of background. Someday Chalko and I intend to get out of the city, so I'm always thinking in terms of where my career can keep me busy.
Your accellerated program sounds pretty brutal, but you'll have your RN in 1 year, right? Sounds pretty good. hmmm...

thanks for the link to those laundry products, well actually everything on that site looks awesome! thanks. and i was wondering if you have ever been climbing in new mexico or arizona, and if so, where? i love those states! and im not sure if clytie asked you this yet or not, but is that huge white stupa in colorado in boulder or denver? i had a brochure about it when i was in denver but i lost it and i would love to go there.
Happy New Year!
It's nice being home in my own space and chillin with the kitty. I was on the road last night driving back to Tampa from VA, but I got plenty of celebrating and debauchery in on Friday night with my mom, bro, and sis at The Tavern which was built in 1779!!!

broken up for real this time? i think that's going to be a really good thing for you. you don't need anyone toying with your heart. i hope you have an excellent day. very peaceful. where none of the fears are too big to confront and deal with.

Nice to meet you. Chalko has told me a bit about you. Fellow outdoorsman I hear. Colorado sounds beautiful.
Ok, I've had enough of the shopping...International Mall was hecka packed w/little parking, but I'm basically done. After the madness Mom and I headed over to the Tampa MOSI (Museum of Science and Industry) for their "Bodies" exhibit.

I heard that's pretty nasty stuff. Chalka,s been going to school to get her nursing degree and told me how bad it is. I can only imagine. 
Wowyou do some serious climbing! Thats too cool.
20 minutes from Tahoe, hmmm. Ill have to check that out. Free camping is always nice. Were going to Tahoe this Friday to see my dad for Christmas. He just called last night. Theres still hardly any snow. This last storm just dumped some slush on the ground. Were still praying for more snow.
YaIve seen 3 different doctors now. They havent been much help. Must be nice to get paid all that money just to pass out antibiotics for any problem that comes along. (which is what theyre not supposed to do.) It sucks to wait a good 30 minutes to see your doctor then another 5-10 minutes in the room before they come in just to rush you right back out the door with a prescription. Oh wellat least I have medical coverage.
My leg is doing much better. Its finally starting to scab over. (after five weeks of craziness)
chalko:
Thanks bro
Strawberry is a cool little place. I think Im gonna have to check that place out when I get some more money in the pocket. Thanks for the link.
Good luck with the rest of school and have a great holiday with the fam.
Peace

Absolutely, most definitely into backpacking.
It's become my life the last few years. There's still so much to see and do. I love it.
I've never climbed the rock walls (I've always wanted to, just never got around to it). I used to free climb before I started a family. Now I just like to go backpacking, I'm a little more conservative these days, but I still love to explore. As long as I'm in the outdoors, pushing myself, it's all good.
Here's some pics from some of my trips.
Do you ever make it out to Cali?

You climb in Yosemite? Sweet!!! We got married there. When youre there, what do you climb?
Wheres lovers leap exactly, and whats the story?
Most spiders are okay, but some you just have to get rid of. Especially with kids around. And especially after they become man-eaters. I was recently bit by one, about 5 weeks ago and I still have to bandage my wound. Necrosis set in and started eating my leg. I had a hole in my leg the size of a quarter and half as deep. Its still pretty narley.
Needless to say, I got no love for em!!

It's another glorious day, and I feel like a brand new man. It's amazing what two full nights of restful sleep can do for ya.
Last night was a blast. Dano, Klint, Nanda, and Mike and I painted the town. Started out at the brewpub I used to wait tables at, The Southern Sun . It's kind of a hippy joint, but it's also a...

do you know how to put an image in a comment? did you just ask me about that recently? the process is different depending on if you're using a PC or a Mac.
on a pc, find the image you want. it must be hosted somewhere on the web. if you have an image on your computer that you want on the web, you should upload it to a folder under the PICS link below where it says "See My Friends Page" on your page.
once you have found the image you want, right click on it. select "Properties." when the properties box opens, you want the Image LOCATION. this will be a long web address always ending in a .jpg (or .bmp, .gif). copy that address. go to wherever you want to put the image and nest the address between the following tags:
[ IMG ]address[ /IMG ]
except remove all the spaces.
e-mail with questions. OR, send me a comment with a picture of some hot MAN SOCKS!

All gearhead advice and comments welcome. The closeest I've ever come to really roughing it was sleeping in a park.
It's been such a glorious day here in Boulderland, lotsa sun. I turned in early last night and after lying in bed and staring at the silohuette of my ceiling fan for an hour I switched on my lovely, beaded bedside lamp and began reading and did so until after 4:30 when I finally succumbed (probably b/c of the hot tomato soup) to exhaustion.
It's...

Respect to Richie P.; he's the first comedian I noticed as a child, and is one of the best.
Today was toasty compared to days past. I can't wait to get back east and go surfing, all before heading up to see Granny. She's the best, I think I'll upload a pic of her.

Another one down, two to go. Sleeping 5 hours a night and not working out for the past few weeks is starting to get to me. It's nap time! It's such a crisp and beautiful day, I wish I was more awake to take a stroll downtown. Even if I was, I wouldn't have the time. Lauren's going to be bummed when I tell her...
