The Alpinism’s Bumpin’, But I Need the Volume Higher

November 6, 2008 – 10:30 am
Like many Americans I’m still in a bit of a trance after the momentous events of November 4th. My wonderment at the fact that an overwhelming number of my fellow citizens voted for progress by supporting our first African American president is tempered by sadness that a whole bunch of them in a handful […]
