July 23 and 24, reverse wildcard, home

Glacier National Park
Glacier National Park (GNP). Lake McDonald Lodge. We will miss staying here this year. It’s on GNP’s West side. We are spending all of 2026 on the East side.

Calling tomorrow’s departure ‘the start of our Glacier 2026 Farewell Tour.’

Only 31 days this year.

We’ll hit four great regions:

  1. Swiftcurrent and Many Glacier Valleys
  2. St Mary
  3. East Glacier
  4. Rising Sun and Logan Pass

This is the first Summer since 2017 we haven’t had a Sperry Chalet or Granite Park Chalet reservation.

April 1, 2010: One solid year of blogging. Fun to look back on how amateur it was, and still is.

What you got with this never missing a day thing?

The blinding flash of the obvious is that i have…

  1. Unusual habits
  2. Drive
  3. Consistency
  4. Vision
  5. Hope
  6. Discipline
  7. Humility?

Taking the day off, home

Challenging to explain how it’s easy to walk 4, 5, 6 miles just in our yard, just in one day. On top of the morning walk.

Taking the day off from blogging.

Yep.

That was the original plan.

Yeah, like that is ever gonna happen.

So i was dreaming up a creative way to kinda pull off an April Fools day prank.

As you have read, it never materialized.

Blogging’s hidden blessing, home

Dear Son, to me, blogging’s hidden blessing is its love for the writer.

The cool blessing with blogging is that blogging has no expectation.

If you write only one blog post in your life, fine.

If you create a website and add a blogging software, but never write a single post, blogging says, “no problem”.

And if you write more personal blog posts than anyone in the world ever has, blogging says, “Oh, I never noticed”.

i love the infinite blessings of leaving a trail for you, Son.

In the big picture i will die with peace, with zero regrets on what i might have said.

The longer, in time, i write, the more my priorities speak to me.
