One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I backpacked the Grand Canyon from and back to the north rim last summer. looking forward to a similar trip this summer. go to ribbon falls if you get to the bottom. the coolest shit ever. too bad the camera with all the pictures on it died...

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH:
music. I play banjo, guitar, piano, and double bass, AND have access to all of these instruments. I can teach you a little bit about prairie, forest, maybe even wetland ecology and plant identification.
LEARN:
It's never over. thank god.
I don't know how to treat my bike to what it needs when it is unhappy. That would be a nice thing to learn. teach me new languages.
SHARE:
radiohead covers on banjo upon request. tea. waffles. stories.
