I've been scanning in old photos from my pre-digital era. This photo is from summer of 2004, when I interned in Denver. My then-boyfriend came out and we did a one-night backpacking trip (my first!) in the Cache/LaPoudre wilderness in the Rockies. I'm not sure if this was going up or coming down.

Summer
Although unprecedented prosperity will be mine in the near future, in the short term funds are tight. I don't want to spend any of my savings - in fact, I want to increase them, as moving to Manhattan is a pricy prospect - and my pay for the next couple of months will be low.
(There are a couple of potential things I could pick up this summer, but you surely know the proverb about counting chickens.)
So one thing I'm doing to save a bit of cash is trying to get to the end of the month without paying for any more yoga classes. That's two weeks, so it's about $40 I'd save, which maybe isn't much, but every bit counts, and anyway, I need an incentive to develop a home practice.
Today I kicked things off the easy way by going to a free class sponsored by Lululemon. It was at a studio I know with a teacher I didn't, and it wasn't as challenging as what I typically do, but that's typical for free classes. I'd like to see if I can practice every day, barring days I do serious hiking - no way I'm hiking 10 miles and then doing more than a stretch!

It's done
Says my mom: "I see Turducken hasn't graduated yet."
Well, here it is: Graduation was last weekend, and I walked. The anxiety level was kicked up a notch because I had to not only walk but carry the graduate school banner, without tripping or impaling anyone. (Success!)

Big South Fork
Last weekend we camped at Big South Fork. The weather held until Sunday, when we packed in a hurry to beat the rain. On Saturday we did a hike of 10-ish miles. Part of the trail was a horse trail, with all that entails, and part was hiking-only. It was pretty, but nothing spectacular. In this photo, we are approaching the lunch spot.
