Yes, I know it’s been nearly a week since my last post, but I have a good excuse:
I’ve only had the use of my left eye since Saturday, and until yesterday, my right eye was in quite a lot of pain.
(Skip to around 1:23, please.)
Saturday’s hike was Doubletop and Graham mountains – both bushwhacks, though [...]

I think I’m going to be taking it easy for a little while. I spent the first couple of weeks of the month trying to get myself back into high gear, but I think I ended up just spinning my wheels and effing up my spiritual connection. My ego is starting to resurface. Nothing I’ve [...]

The other day, The Naked Redhead nominated me for a “Happy 101 Award” because she thought it was “hilarious to do so”. This is kind of like a blogger chain-email thingamabob (I think). TNR was nominated by Alex over at The Tell Tale Blog, and I was named in her post. I think pingbacks are [...]

I’ll tell you about it tomorrow.

The word “procrastination” is a combination of two Latin words: pro = “for”, cras = “tomorrow”. For tomorrow.

Seriously, I feel like I’m back in college. I was really hoping to hit the ground running this week, but something’s kind of holding me back. I don’t know what it is. I’m [...]

So I’m at the beginning of my Catskill 3500 Club winter peaks goal, right? I mean, I’ve been talking about it for a while now, but why am I doing it (you ask yourself)?
At the end of the day, I think it’s basically ego-driven. I enjoy hiking, but I like the sense of accomplishment I [...]

I’ve been giggling my ass off all night long. And I’ve got Bob Marley playing on the stereo right now.
No, dear reader, I’m not pulling tubes in my apartment. I’ve been having a great time on facebook with my buddy Matt Helmick (@IntegralHack on Twitter), and for whatever reason, I can’t blog to Marley. I [...]

Is it possible to be a Type A personality and a night-owl? I’m a card-carrying member of the latter group. Well, I don’t really have a card that says “Ted Wallace, Night Owl” – though maybe I should. I mean, I get a sh*tload of stuff done in any given day, but I’m just not [...]

Saturday morning I’ll be hiking Whiteface and Esther Mountains in the Adirondacks. They’ll be numbers 3 and 4 of 46 for my Adirondack 46ers patch.

I wasn’t kidding when I put those last few posts together. I’m getting a move-on. It’s now 11:44 in the post meridian on Thursday night, and I’m heading [...]

The wrecking is complete, please continue the checking:
So I think that in my last post I basically covered numbers three and four of my prioritization process, but for the sakes of continuity, repetition and closure, I’ll cover them once more:
3. After that, I’m going to put those groups into an order of priority – [...]
