Did everyone forget what they learned from Krakauer in Into Thin Air?

Jesus.

The window to climb Everest to its peak is extremely limited. Like, basically, May. (I am not going to be specific. Fuck off).

Many things can happen at once: climbing Everest to its peak is a bad thing - and going to the Himalayas to appreciate the grandeur is not a bad thing!

My new annoyance is people talking about "climbing Everest" in the wake of the recent disaster and not having the basic Everest knowledge that NO ONE IS FUCKING CLIMBING EVEREST IN OCTOBER

But seriously, she does. She barks at me until I put her treats in her snuffle mat.

So, I absolutely sent a whatsapp message to the guide I had last time I was in Colombia in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Martas.

And, of course, he has a friend in Bogota

I booked a probably dumb hostel. I originally booked a Marriott but changed my mind 😂

I am spending a few nights in Bogota, then Puerto Boyaca, then a reserve near Puerto Pinzon, then back to Bogota.

Every time I look just a little bit further into Colombia I am mad I don't have, like, 10 more days there

I don't come into the proper downtown area as much as I used to, but Jesus, downtown Boston was PACKED today. It felt like pre pandemic levels of folks wandering around.

Best part about being local counsel, I get paid to go get dressed up and sit in court while watching everyone else do the hard work.

Still counting this as my first Mass Appellate court case 😂

My father used to call me a "commie pinko fascist" so I think I'm qualified to host.
