I’m Greg. My wife and I live in the Pacific Northwest where we are raising our sons. I’m here chatting about skiing, hiking, family-friendly spots and the general area.
It’s all about discovering good books, cool places, and kind people!

Beautiful vistas but will we see wildlife? Yes! Bison! Then a grizzly bear. But the most exciting encounter was the deer that tried to volunteer itself as a hood ornament on our adventure van. Close, but no collision and our road trip continues tomorrow.

I’d like to thank the other nominees, child abusers, the neglectful, the hurtful but I am, according to a recent poll, the worst.
What did I do? Well, I made them French toast with apple butter and syrup, eggs, and a banana.
Oh, and limited screen time. Probably mostly the screen time.

Mt. St. Helens erupted 45 years ago. Last year my wife and I climbed to its top. We listened to this history -
Steve Olsen wrote a great history about the mountain, the May 1980 eruption, and the local politics that contributed to 57 people losing their lives. I highly recommend reading Eruption.

We finished the 2025 ski season in an amazing way. Our youngest decided he was comfortable to ride the lift. So our last run was his first run off a proper lift! Amazing!
We also enjoyed watching the pond skim at our mountain home, Mt. Hood Meadows. Thank you for another great season!

There is only one thing better than a blue bird ski day and that’s being able to share it with my wife!

Starting book 48 this year. I am hoping that this brings the positive Ted Lasso vibes that I am craving.

Whether your frustration is giving way to a sense of hopelessness or calling you to act, I highly recommend Alexei Navalny’s memoir, Patriot! It will inspire you:
