Descent Is Faster and More Enjoyable than the Climb

Go figure, it's more fun (and much easier) to come down the mountain than it is to climb up. Yesterday (Sunday), Pops and I took a couple hours to climb and explore a nearby trail. It was pretty pathetic going up...

Walk a hundred yards, huff and puff for five minutes... walk 50 yards, huff and puff... walk 200 yards then get winded and have to stop for five minutes. Needless to say, it took awhile to get up. We walked up the trail -- a fairly comfortable incline, despite the "huff and puff" episodes -- for just over an hour and a half. I took photos (of course) and added them to my Colorado Photo Blog. The sights were really nice going up...

It’s a Great Day in Kentucky!

Life has been so hectic lately, it's hard to FIND the roses, much less stop for a little sniff. But, I think I've decided that life will only slow down when I force that to happen. I've also decided that it has very little to do with outside forces and events, and much to do with my own decisions and choices. So, I'm deciding to slow down a bit. Yeah, yeah, I know... I've said it before. Only time will prove my earnestness this time...
