My week was pretty good. Lots of things learned, met up with friends, visited an observatory, and survived divorce mediation.

First of all, WTF search? Why are you showing me Canadian Valpos?

Second of all, WTF? How are there this many Valparaisos in Canada?

I went for a hike up a mountain today. Ended up being another friend's exasperated, "Can't you just go up a mountain or something?" that caused me to think, yeah, I need to go up. Last weekend's camping trip was incredibly wonderful, learned a lot, but the hike wasn't up. For some reason, the up is what I find calming these days. Maybe I'm limited in the speed I can go, maybe the effort induces a meditative state, maybe going up alone instead of with Zeb and Brittany and Mike meant I could be alone with my thoughts. Maybe.

I got lost, and met John Malkovich.

Which is a shame, because apples are my favorite fruit. So much so, that my retirement plan for decades has included an apple orchard. Did I mention I work at my favorite fruit company? Associate that favorite with the fruit part, please. Apples have been a part of my life since I was 9 (wow, almost as long as Antarctica, go life!).

Buckle up, Future Kitt, we're going for a ride. You're going to want to remember this one.
