So M was here visiting. It's great, and I love having him around. It changes my routine a lot, though. I gave up competing in the Ravellenic Games because I couldn't find enough time to knit. I'm much more active when he's here, so there were a lot of hikes and fun stuff happening, but I didn't have much time to update the blog. He's gone home now, which makes me sad and lonely, and leaves me with a big chunk of time that is unplanned. I'm trying to fill in the hours in order to keep myself from feeling depressed, but also give myself some time to catch up on sleep. I'll try to do my updating in stages over the next few days.
The first weekend M was here I had really bad bronchitis, so nothing much in the way of posts. 2nd weekend saw us at the Mexican Food Cookoff downtown with Christina, which was fun. 3rd weekend was the Plaza Classic Film Festival. We saw "To Kill a Mockingbird", "The Birds", and "An American in Paris", and on Saturday morning we went hiking up the Mammoth near Trans Mountain with Neysa and Christina. For the 4th weekend, I managed to take some time off work and we went to Big Bend National Park for a 4 day camping trip. It was amazing.

Mammoth Hike
This was the view in the early morning as we were about 1/3 of the way up the trail.
A panoramic view of the mountains and The Mammoth in the distance. You can just see it's trunk sticking up.
Some rocks with lichen and The Mammoth in the background. This is about the point where we ran into Neysa, who was hiking with some other friends that day, and joined up to finish the trail with us.
M and me at the top of the trail. :)
Heading back down again.
A moderate hike on what turned out to be a very hot day, but it was a lot of fun to do this one with friends.
Charlie's Angels. :P
