So, I’m back at the old bookstore, which still manages to make me squee a little with the amount of cool environmentally-conscious and just generally neat books it stocks. The work is good; the people I work with are good. Goodness abounds.

In other news, I was trying to think of what had been going since since the last time I’d done regular updates and I realized Carla and I had climbed a mountain.

See how happy we are? We’re at the top of The Chief, out in Squamish! Third Peak–you know, the far one!

It took us and our friend Liz about two hours to get up to the top, but when we got there, there was plenty to look at.

Like this tree:

We could also see what we think is Black Tusk where one of our best friends got brained by a rock on his 30th birthday and almost died. We are not in a hurry to climb that one.

And we saw this pond, which we’re pretty sure produced all the mosquitoes for the general Squamish area:

And after taking pictures of the surrounding area, we clambered back down and we ate gigantic, organic and kind of politically incorrect burgers at the Tomahawk which is awesome and everyone should go there. The end.
