Snow where to go but up
It's been an interesting week here in the lovely little town of Darrington, Washington and the Seattle metro area. We have been visited by what some here are calling "Snowpocalypse 2019." Or, what people in my hometown of Coeur d'Alene would have called, "Sunday afternoon."

We have relocated!
I’m pleased to tell you that my beautiful wife Lindsay and I have relocated to Darrington, Washington: a lovely little town located in the middle of the Cascades. Lindsay is now the kindergarten teacher for Darrington Elementary School, where she is having an exciting time with an all-new class of little guys and gals. You can follow her adventures on her new blog at MissLindsay.org.
Almost thirty years in the making, the river Beautiful will be published as a premium hardcover, a value softcover, and a very special online multimedia experience.
