Make Lemonade

February 18, 2010

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 – [...]

How To Blow The Ole Engine Out

January 19, 2010

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 [...]

Happy 101 Award

January 14, 2010

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 [...]

On Procrastination

January 6, 2010

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 [...]

Why I Climb Mountains for Fun

December 27, 2009

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 [...]

Facebook and Balance in the Universe

November 10, 2009

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.  [...]

Personality Types – A or B?

November 9, 2009

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’s Hike 10-24-2009

October 23, 2009

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. View Larger Map 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 [...]

Inventory & List of Priorities (3,4)

October 21, 2009

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 [...]
