so, this weekend i am at the MUN conference all weekend, a tiring and at times tedious experience. but the kids do enjoy it and it is a great opportunity to do some meaningful networking with some like-minded people. this is s shot of the us consul speaking.
the highlight of the weekend was artemis' visit. where she climbed all-over-the-place. here in a cpu container in the computer lab, and made whole committees collectively awe.
last weekend i went true mountaineering for the first time in my life. i liken this to ceder point only nature instead of technology, and trees and rocks instead of people. so hiking up is like waiting in line, good conversations, but really, lets face it, in the way of the action. then there is a relatively short period of real action, which could be really awesome, or just 'meh', with a mild possibility of true death. then there is the hike down which, like the rush hour after leaving the amusement park, is ultimately in the way of dinner and rest. perhaps that is a bit harsh the mountain was a beautiful, and like ice-climbing, it is a fine excuse to get out in the winter, but it is good to know that rock climbing is still better.
Jaimie Hyneman pulls off glacier glasses better than i do. i also suck at selfies, perhaps it is the self, but . . . .
it is pretty up there, but the top was cloudy so . . . no pics.

So, rock climbing has always made me a little nervous, but I am even less crazy about mountaineering and ice climbing. You need to find a new rock climbing partner. Tell Thomas I said to come home. How fun that Artemis and Eleftheria got to visit you at MUN. Talk to you soon. Love, Mom
Nice stories. It was great to catch up with you the other day. Glad to hear you are getting out and enjoying the winter. There's nothing quite like standing on top of a mountain... even if it is cloudy.
