A New Yorker in Exile

A self exiled New Yorker left to explore the world on his own... okay left to explore the world with some help from a few friends... but they aren't New Yorkers. My latest pursuits: home brewing, discrete mathematics, correspondence chess, wine tasting, house cleaning, dog walking, writing more (hence why I'm updating this blog again) and the usual hey what can the world teach me today.

Point Reyes

I just returned from a two day, one night trip to Point Reyes National Seashore, a national park 1 hour north of San Francisco brought to the world thanks to the U.S. National Park Service in assoicastion with the Department of the Interior and tax payers like you. We backpacked almost 5 miles round trip, spending the first night in the rain, and today in beautiful blue skies.

A backpacking trip is just what the soul needed to get away, unfortunately, it was too little for too short a time, but who could say no to any oppurtunity to get away. Although part of my New York nuerotic attitude came out when I felt uncomfortable leaving the campsite for a short walk to the beach, with all our equipment left for the taking. My friend trying to make me feel less nervous said, "who is going to steal our stuff in the middle of the park on a rainy Sunday night?" My reply, "thats exactly who I'm worried about."
