We had the inspection on Tuesday. The inspector seemed to be genuinely impressed with the house. It’s possible he was just trying to be nice, but it seemed to come from the heart. There’s a semi tame squirrel that I’ve seen a few times while I’ve been in the back yard. This visit, I spent [...]

kim, cynthia and santa, originally uploaded by cindigodotcom. I’ve finally finished editing and uploading all the old pictures. You can really tell that I was over the whole process with the quality of some of them. Although, many were in pretty bad shape. You really can’t appreciate the reconstruction without the original next to it. [...]

Miss Nevada, originally uploaded by cindigodotcom. We’re in Las Vegas for the annual Sports Book Review party. At the initial open bar greeting we borrowed Miss Nevada’s crown and sash for a photo op. Yes, you heard it, THE Miss Nevada. She was a really good sport about the crown and sash, although she looked [...]

naked andy, originally uploaded by cindigodotcom. I’ve spent the last few days scanning, renaming and cleaning up old photos and memorabilia. I’m not quite done yet but, I just couldn’t wait to upload this. I don’t think I have to comment other than to tell you that this is a self portrait done by my [...]

Andy is coming home tomorrow. He’s been in Green Bay for two weeks. I really miss that guy. Other than that I’ve continued on my semi unhealthy path of boozing every night with Vlad and doing yoga every day at the gym. I figure the two cancel each other out. Since I’ve finally figured out [...]

Today is our first day in our new apartment. There was much more dog hair left from the tenets we were subletting from than we thought. This is terrible for Vlad’s allergies. Our drunken solution. Which, by the way, probably wouldn’t be much different than our sober solution. couch1….Can’t figure out how to change 3gm [...]

jasmine tea flower 2, originally uploaded by cindigodotcom. This morning I was driving to the UPS store to dump off some of the last ebay packages. I turned left at a light and then had to make an immediate right into a strip mall. There was a pedestrian crossing the driveway entrance so I had [...]

I am Slacker. Not really, but, really. The website is suffering, but my real life is flourishing. That’s probably the most healthy of things, but I do miss living my life on the interwebs. Andy is in Green Bay visiting his parents. I dropped him off at the airport at five this morning. It was [...]

. . . The first week in Denver has gone really well. Andy seems happy playing poker and running around his old stomping grounds, while I have started filling up my social calendar with all kinds of shenanigins from the internets. We got a storage space yesterday and liberated our possessions from our Boulder friends [...]

I made it to Denver. In two days! This is quite an accomplishment from someone that is not a huge fan of driving and generally likes to stop every forty five minutes. I think the trail really made me appreciate automobile travel. I have been taught a deep patience for the time it takes for [...]

I was feeling bad about all the stuff we organized and packed that now I have to tear appart and figure out what to do with. Instead, I’m feeling awesome that we put 100% effort into everything we do. So be it that boxes need diassembling. When we decide to do something, we jump in [...]

The hitch wasn’t as hard as we thought. We’re off into the wild. We won’t have cell but will continue to update via sat phone. It’s not on our itinerary, but our next stop will be Mammoth Lakes.   Posted via email from Cindigo’s Posterous

We’re waiting for the bus to take us back to Independence so we can pick up our mail drop. Andy got some nice new trail running shoes, we bought cheap sunglasses and just came from lunch where I quite possibly consumed two sticks of butter with three pieces of bread. We optimistically thought we would [...]

I’m sending this message from the back of a pick up truck on the way to Bishop. The post office won’t be open until Monday so we’re taking the time to go to a bigger town to get Andy new shoes. We have some great pics and video to upload. We saw our first bears [...]

We’ve been hiking a lot with Big John since Hiker Heaven in Agua Dulce. He’s a great guy who also happens to have designed one of the most unique and cool backpacks I’ve seen, the Moonbow.  Check it out at www.moonbowgear.com if you get a chance.   Posted via email from Cindigo’s Posterous

My first attempt at hitching without my secret weapon Cindigo went remarkably well. I stepped off of the trail at Walker Pass and in about 5 seaconds an amazing guy named Rocky pulled over.  Rocky has hiked the John Muir something like six times and had lots of great stories to tell. He dropped me [...]

This is the most aggresive horny toad I’ve seen, and I’ve seen a lot of them!  It’s hard to tell from the picture, but he was actually lunging at the camera.   Posted via email from Cindigo’s Posterous

This was a pretty brutal climb at the end of a day, but it’ a nice view.   Posted via email from Cindigo’s Posterous

I slept great last night. Almost 10 hours!  The trails getting prettier, but it might be a hot day.   Posted via email from Cindigo’s Posterous

More wind turbines!   Posted via email from Cindigo’s Posterous

Last night was really windy.  And pretty cold. Not very fun, but it did force me out of bed for an early start to warm up.   Posted via email from Cindigo’s Posterous

I know this is a lot of windmill pictures, but they’re just very cool.   Posted via email from Cindigo’s Posterous
