Quarry wall at North Table, Some good routes but mostly a bit junky. Nice cause it's not too busy these days.

Jesse heading up a mixed route in Golden. Easy climbing up cracks to a bouldery crux at the anchors.
Returning from our job interviews the highways were a mess. We luckily didn't have any damage. Vail pass was shut down while we drove home. A few hours of sitting in the car was not planned!
Life has a way of always keeping you busy. For instance, my wife and I have been searching for a new place to move with one caveat, we both are able to get teaching jobs in the new city. This seemingly simple task has been one that has taken many hours of completing written and online job applications, writing essays, sending emails and letters of interest and scouring the net for any new opportunities.
Well, with a ton a work and time invested, things have finally progressed for us. We each were able to land teaching jobs in beautiful Grand Junction, Colorado. After sending applications literally around the world, we landed work just 4 hours from our current location. But what we didn't realize was the coming whirl wind of events that would begin to unfold.
We now had to tell our friends and families, next, sell our house, finally find a new place in Junction. All the while finishing our current school years out, taking masters level college courses, and trying to fit in training running and climbing. Let's just say it has been a real challenge and at times we have not been able to do all those things at once!
I am really glad that you have visited my blog.
Thanks and I hope to see and hear from you soon.

The Stations of the Resurrection--Twelfth Station--The Ascension of Jesus
("The Ascension of Christ," by Salvador Dali)
The Twelfth Station--The Ascension of Jesus
Leader: O Risen Christ, Light of the world, we adore you;
People: You left our mortal coil again, but this time, in glory.
The disciples knew, as they stood there on the mountain with Jesus, that something was about to change. It brought an electric sense of excitement to the group, but it was excitement tinged with fear. Was he going to leave to create new bands of disciples? Was he going to give each of them God-like powers? What would be the chain of command among those who remained? Peter had been given a specific charge, but what about the rest of them? Certainly Jesus would explain this to them.
As they were rolling these thoughts around in their heads, suddenly a cloud appeared, and when the cloud was out of sight, so was Jesus. Instead, two men in white robes had appeared. Were they angels? "Men of Galilee," they told them, "Why do you stand looking up toward heaven? This Jesus, who had been taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven."
Jesus had left them, with no further instructions. They were to figure it out on their own. But this time he had left them in glory, rather than through an indignant death. He had left them in the hope of new life rather than the darkness of death.
Leader: The cloud took Jesus from the disciples,
People: But the disciples were not abandoned; God's holy presence remained.
Leader: Let us pray.
(a brief period of silence is observed.)
Mysterious God,
Just as the disciples were left with the presence of angels,
we are left in our daily walk not with your physical Son,
but with his presence and your presence.
We are also left with your trust--trust that we,
using our hearts and minds, can discern your will and your desires for us.
Sharpen our skills to sense your presence within us
and to willingly be led by it.
Help us to feel the glimmer of your Incarnation
when we find ourselves walking in places
that we would never take ourselves on our own.
Show us the angels in our midst.
People: Amen.
Leader: Alleluia! Christ is risen!
People: The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia!
