Travels and Travails

It's been a stressful fortnight for me, but I'm beginning to feel human again. This is the first day I've felt any relaxation. But there has been beauty along the way.

I took this photo early one morning returning from the lab to the flat. This is looking across frozen Jyväsjärvi at the lights of downtown Jyväskylä.


Tomorrow morning I'll stop taking data. One more day to tie all the loose ends together here, then to the Alps....

Curtis Blow

Proving that while I may be a year older, I haven't gotten any smarter: yesterday Davide, Matthäus, and I skied the most western south-facing chute that connects the Upper and Lower Curtis Glaciers on mighty Shuksan.
