Hiking
I don't make New Year's resolutions, yet in early 2026 I decided that I wanted to make a better effort in a couple of areas. Firstly was to be more consistent with minding my overall health and exercise habits. Secondly, I wanted to break my comfort level for being a homebody and take better advantage of social opportunities. Almost by fate an opportunity presented itself that is playing a large part to obtain both objectives. My good friend Rick invited me to join up with a group of guys from the area for a 2nd Friday of each month hike. After my son heard that I was starting to get into hiking, he said he'll go with me whenever we can. Below are some photos from the 2nd Friday Hiking group and Father and Son hikes.
