Because You Don’t Always Win at Skiing
I've been lucky enough to have some of you readers for a long time, and you've seen my dedication to the blog ebb and flow. Sometimes I have tons of inspiration and no content, and other times I'm so overwhelmed by fun stuff to write about I just buckle under the...
How well can you REALLY know someone?

75 Steps to Becoming a True Seattlelite
Awesome poster from Ork PhotosAhh Seattle. The land of perpetual rain and grey skies where sunshine dare not enter. Home to tech giants Amazon and Microsoft and the awkward tech-nerds who come with them. A city of hipsters wearing socks with sandals and talking about...

Gillavvari (1163m) & Nordmannviktinden (1355m)
