I’ve gotten no hiking done in the past couple weekends, and I’ve spent the last one healing up from a minor bit of doctor’s office slicing and dicing that has had two unfortunate side effects: no hiking or blogging. As the “she turned me into a newt!” guy on “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” noted: “I got better.”
Well, I’m better enough for blogging, but no hiking for another weekend. After taking a pretty good breather from regular updates around here, I’m getting back into a blogging mood, so the posts should start flowing again soon.
I noticed the absence. Glad to hear you are “better”.
Is that better, as in “better, faster, stronger”?
Just trying to gauge my fitness for our next hike.
Glad to hear you’re on the mend. I check each day to find out where you’ve been hanging out, and had gotten to thinking it might be with extraterrestrials or something.
Just get better. I can confirm the trails are still there. I promise they’ll be there when you’re able to get out again…oh, yeah – we have a nice new loop at Brushy Peak! You’ll have to come by sunny L’more and check it out sometime.
Well, after fanny-sitting for a couple weeks I’ll be a bit of a laggard at first but I’ll be back up to speed before too long (long as I’m faster than a banana slug, I’ll be OK)
Glad to see you back Tom. Whenever a hiker doesn’t update a blog in a while, it sends up “Did he get hurt on the trail” warning flags. For years, I rarely blogged about getting ready to go on a hiking trip for fear of unsolicited tag-alongs. However, during a weeklong trek to Coyote Gulch, one of my regular readers got so upset at my sudden disappearance that she contacted more than a dozen national parks and then several Austin hospitals looking for me.
Anyway, feel better, and get back on the trail soon.
Jeff: I hadn’t thought of that, thanks.
By the way congrats on the JMT backpacking trip, looks like great fun was had.
Missed you, Tom!
Was getting a little worried Tom- Glad your back in the saddle, so to speak!
I was beginning to think you had grown tired of blogging and had moved on to twittering, or flittering, or some new fangled thing or another. Happy to find out otherwise, but not happy to hear you were laid up. Hope you get yourself outside soon.
