Cricket ... Cricket ...

So, not much progress on the BWCA front, I see. Where is Aaron, self-proclaimed planner extraordinaire? Perhaps it doesn't matter much; I won't be going anyhow. It probably matters to someone. Instead, I will be joining my dad on a fly-in fishing trip in the great country of Canada. Huzzah!

In other news, I climbed Mt Ogden last Friday. Pretty exciting. It only took 11 hours (round trip) of trail-less scrambling along 35 degree slopes through knee-high scrub oak. Ok, so the scrambling was only half the way up (we went a different way down) but it was painful nonetheless. And when we thought we were nearly there, the way we took back (different than the way up) dumped us out 20 blocks from our cars. Oops. Well, I guess you can't have it all.

Additionally, I would like to go to New Zealand someday. Anyone want to join me?

It's that time of year again...

No, not tax time (though that is almost here. Do you know where your W-2s and 1099s are?) BWCA 2007 planning time! Yes, BWCA is as little as 5 months away, so we had better start figuring out some dates. Post a reply with preferred dates or date ranges. Keep in mind that early June and late August will probably have the fewest Mosquitoes. I do dislike mosquitoes.

As far as for me, there are three big tests this summer at work: Early May, early June, and early August. The only trick is, I am not involved in those tests and no one will tell me if I should choose leave for during the tests (everyone else will be out at the range) or not during the tests (so I can be there while everyone is out at the range). So in short, I am pretty wide open.

In that case, I'll start the bidding at late August or perhaps even early September.
