I was inspired by my friend Chris’ Best of 2007 lists on September Police and despite it being almost May 2008, I thought I’d make my own. I’ll take any pretense to make a list, really.

Top 3 Things I’m Looking Forward To In The Next 6 Months

1. Utah/Arizona in 2 weeks. I had the best summers of my life working as a wilderness/desert guide, and I finally get to return to it. I’m also looking forward to “unplugging” myself from city life and really focusing on inner development, meditation and teaching wilderness skills.

2. Testing out my new Canon Powershot G9 in the desert. I even bought a sand/water-proof housing for it.

3. Motorcycling across Newfoundland in July with Josh. Riding, adventure, hiking, camping, partying. Epic.
