Cold Monochrome Living
The past three weeks have been a cold gray haze. That is, I have been living in a monochrome world. Everything has been a shade of black, white or gray. And it is has been cold. It started 3 weeks ago in Colorado.
Last week I was in Illinois. It started with an early morning flight from California. Early morning means driving to the airport in the dark. As I boarded the silver gray plane, that set the color-tone for the next three days.

A Gentleman’s Guide to Fitting Trousers

Gays and the Boy Scouts of America
Sorry, no pictures in this post.
The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) last week announced they are reconsidering the ban on gay members, and may possibly discuss it during BSA’s biannual board meeting to be held in the beginning of February.
Great Expectations
A lot of buzz lately about Brian Frankle joining Six Moon Designs as the Director of Pack Designs (link to the website).
For those who don’t know, Brian is the founder of Ultralight Adventure Equipment (ULA). As an accomplished long distance hiker, Brian started designing and building is own packs for his own use and this eventually morphed into ULA.
After 9 years, Brian tired of the day-to-day operation of running his own company and sold ULA to Chris and Sally McMaster in 2009.
