Harts Pass No. 344


A great writing quote, but applicable to SO many other things with regards to decision making, leadership, and perceptions of competency!

From the Archives!


OK, so for the sake of public discourse I'll politely give the "archive" designation to my mother's basement. In reality, it is/was an absolute nest of items that needed SERIOUS sorting, but there's nothing like a basement cleaning to bring family together :)

That being said, I DID uncover (and bring home for posterity - perhaps to my wife's dismay) two early writing samples: High Treason in Catfish Bend (circa 1983), and My Life in Alaska (1985), plus an old copy of Walt Disney's Tips on Animation, which might have belonged to my dad, but which served as a major source of inspiration to my younger artsy ways. Thanks mom!

Harts Pass No. 343


Loup Loup Pass to the Okanogan: currently closed due to a sliding/collapsing roadbed - in TWO different places! For those communing back and fourth from the Methow to the Okanogan, this adds about 40 minutes each way and perhaps an extra 40 miles total. The Loup Loup wolf pack? They're totally fine with it. Nature bats last... GRRR!

Harts Pass No. 341


This is the comic from last week... when we were on Spring Break in California. And the photo below is of the snow in the air on Monday morning, April 10th :) To be fair, the yard was still covering in 4-6 inches of snow when we left, so for the springishly minded the situation is actually improving. As my first-ever book editor used to say, onward and upward!
