I’ve learned to appreciate her evening zoomies as an expression of her love and joy in spending time with us.

My 23 Year Application

I was fortunate enough to participate in a NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School) course in the summer of 2016.   The course had been on my wishlist for more than twenty years and the experience far exceeded by expectations.  NOLS published my story in their alumni periodical this spring.  Please click on the below link to read the story.  One of my instructors (Ngaire) also wrote a story for the publication.

Look for the Spring 2017 edition
