Early evening hike today.

Cold Infusion Equity… Go Utes!

From our hike this morning.

Celebrating our first year with Rudy. youtu.be/WYTBj1zkEy4

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Burns: The Old Testament says there’s nothing new under the sun. On July 4th, 1776, there was. Everybody up to that point had been under authoritarian rule. It was in the interests of their rulers that they be uneducated, that they be superstitious, that they be distracted by conspiracies…

Spent the morning wondering the High Uintas Wilderness.

All my birthday wishes came true... I wished for nose hair and a sore knee.

The sun through the leaves made everything feel so warm and bright on this morning's dog walk. Soaking up every last bit of autumn!

Beginning to see a thin layer of ice forming around the edges of the lakes in the High Uintas Wilderness. The sun still has enough warmth to make you forget the snow and ice. It’s that in-between season, when the memory of summer and the promise of winter share the same trail.

Despite facing a smothering defense and an unrelenting barrage of trash talk, he somehow rose above it all to snatch a narrow, hard-fought 10 to 9 victory over Gramps in a nail-biting one-on-one driveway championship showdown. And just like that, a new driveway legend has emerged.

This morning's trip to the High Uintas and hike around Mirror Lake.

Warm sun + crisp air + tracks in the snow = this morning in the High Uintas Wilderness.

This rainbow bridge appeared on my hike this morning. A little magic to start my day.

Hiking with my pack this morning.

During my hike this morning, this happened.

Back to school for the kids. + Back to work for their parents. = Back to the High Uintas Wilderness for us.✌️

Our weekly escape to the High Uintas Wilderness yesterday. Sunshine, 60 degrees and didn't see a soul, so... PERFECT!

A few more photos from our weekly escape to the High Uintas yesterday.

Another beautiful day in the High Uintas Wilderness. No news is good news!

A month ago Rudy wouldn’t even get close to the water. Today, he did this. Uintas magic!

You know one of the things (among many) I love about the High Uintas Wilderness? There’s no social media, no internet, no cell service. The only thing my phone is good for is taking photos like these.

High Uintas today. ❤️

🧵 Interesting article with many quotes about burnout in college athletics. Hearing the same types of stories from good people I used to work with. “This industry often rewards hard work and dedication with more work and responsibility as if that is appropriate compensation." 1/3

Dear WCGA and @ncaa.bsky.social Gymnastics Committee:

2025 #NCAAGym WAG coaching changes update: Taylor Spears announces her departure as Arizona AHC and college athletics to pursue other personal goals.

Watching @USAGym Champs got me thinking back to 1979 World Trials, hosted by @UtahGymnastics. (Yes I know, you weren't born yet.) Here's our press release. The 20th World Champs were held later that year in Ft. Worth, TX. It marked the first time the event was held outside Europe.

Just spent a few days up north in Minnesota with friends and family. It always feels like the world slows down just enough for us to catch our breath.

🧵Coaches: Back when it was 12 scholarships across the board, we may not have loved the system, but at least we knew what we were up against. Now? Nobody really knows. You don’t know how many scholarships others have, what kind of rev-share or NIL money they’re working with...

While I prefer wildflowers, untouched by human hands, these beauties from our morning walk will do for now.
