Really into mountains right now. Not like, mountain ranges or climbing mountains or really doing anything physical at all on mountains, but rather seeking out individual “celebrity” mountains and looking at them from afar.
Since arriving in Seattle I’ve been in relentless pursuit of a glimpse of Mt. Rainier, but the city’s haze has thus far thwarted my efforts. So I sit, comforted by my pictures of other mountains home and abroad. My favorite mountain has always been K2, the second-highest mountain on the planet on the border of Pakistan and China. Such a good-looking mountain. Domestically I like Mt. Sneffels in Colorado. Any other mountainphiles out there?

“Mother is a wealth of mountain knowledge.”
G-d said that.
I climbed the Matterhorn.
Good one, Teddy!
