Five years ago, Kurt simply told me, "I think you'd do great in Bishop!" His was the last opinion I sought before moving to this small town in the rain shadow of grand mountains. I never regretted taking his sage advice.
And now he is almost done packing for another grand adventure to the roof of the world.
Only he doesn't quite have a duffel big enough for me:
"It's always further than it looks.
It's always taller than it looks.
And it's always harder than it looks."

Be safe up there, my friend. I can't wait for the next happy hour to swap stories.
Love from the Moose Lodge,
