After many frustrating weeks trying to

7/27/07 -- After many frustrating weeks trying to ferret out why I can't access this blog, then hours sitting at my desk with the telephone to my ear, listening to musak while on hold with tech support, I have finally -- FINALLY -- gotten the bugs out of all software and can continue logging in. Whew!

But first I have to pack. I'm leaving this afternoon for Mt. Hood. Tomorrow morning, bright and early, I am headed up onto the White River Glacier and will actually be able to rappel down into a crevasse. Although I have traveled on glaciers before, this will be the first time to actually go inside of one. Should be scary, but also a blast. And, best of all, this will provide great research for STORM MOUNTAIN.  Full report when I return!
