Briefly: I finished a fine stretch of days staying with my friends in Seattle–complete with beer-making and the brand-new Beatles Rock Band game–and was off almost without a break to spend two days in Mt. Rainier National Park with my father.
Under other circumstances I’d write at some length about the trip, but as it is, I’m now without Internet except for what my iPhone can provide. Short version: we backpacked in, hiked long and hard, slept uncomfortably, hiked more. Had a great time and earned stunning views like the one above: me atop the Tolmie Peak fire lookout tower, with Eunice Lake and mighty Rainier in the background.
Tomorrow I’ll begin a short painting project for an aunt who wants to change the color of a certain room in her house. That’ll put a little much-needed cash in my pocket ahead of my return to California, which I’ve planned for Thursday, the 24th of this month.
I don’t expect to be able to get much time properly online before then, so certain of the promises I’ve made here will continue to await fulfillment, but I’ll try to keep up a trickle of mini-updates from the phone. Wouldn’t want you to think I’d forgotten about you, after all.
