The me I’d like to be enjoys adventures of all kinds! International intrigue! Skinny dipping in moonlight! Discovering new orchid species!
The actual me tries to do these things in a more pragmatic way. I travel when I can. I’ve never met a body of water that wasn’t inviting. I can’t get my orchids to flower, but I do like a little botany.

A word about links…
Links in my posts are chosen by me for their informative or referential value, unless otherwise noted. For example, sometimes I’ll add a link to Amazon.com where you can buy a book I mention. I’m not making any money off these.
Items for review…
I might review gear or other items on this blog. I’ll disclose where I got the item (s) I’m reviewing just so you know. If I’ve been sent an item for a potential review, I won’t send back articles of clothing (sweaty — ewww), but I will send items back to the manufacturer if they’re worth more than $50. Again, just wanted you to know because I think people should be up-front about this stuff.

Hi, just read your story about the marathon in Goshen. I live in Goshen and also ran the race. When people ask me about it I will now refer them to your story. I’m glad I found it, you said it better than I ever could regarding how great an experience it was…even if I am a local Goshen guy
Thank you.
