Turning 66 ...

Another wonderful year behind me: Selden and I moved into our house, I became a grandpa, decided to retire on June 30, 2019, hired a great person to run the school program, got to watch many of Lucy's ski races, and despite sore knees continue to be able to run and ski.

As always, presents on my birthday gravitate toward books:

- The Maverick Mountaineer: George Ingle Finch, the wild colonial boy who took on the British Alpine establishment
- North: finding my way while running the Appalachian Trail
- Deena Kastor's Let Your Mind Run
- Art of Freedom: the life and climbs of Voytek Kurtyka
- as well as an audio copy of The Monkey Wrench Gang for my next long plane ride.
