Ice Climbing Crane Mountain's Waterfall Wall
My children gave me the perfect Christmas present: they accompanied me to the Waterfall Wall and went Ice Climbing There. Despite some alterations necessitated by our recent fluctuating weather, a fantastic time was had by all.
Back to College!
After a 25 year hiatus, I finally got back to some unfinished business; namely my bachelor's degree. Part I covers my process to choose a college. I'll be sharing my experiences during my return in a follow-up article.

March arrives, and with it the advent of mud season. Here in the North Country, March generally starts with plenty of snow and mildly cold weather, but this year we're experiencing an early onslaught of rain and slop. Ah, Mud Season!
