There was rarely time during the Academy to have my head in the clouds. But I had my dreams – aspirations. My dreams rarely came to me at night. I didn’t dream about my adult glory days. Nightmares plagued my nights, so the little time I had free I rarely thought about my future. I never had my head in the clouds like so many … Continue reading Head in the Clouds
I’ve never considered myself a tourist, though I have been all over the United States, Canada and Mexico. But those are all for work. Being a hunter in the United States means that you tend to travel a lot. I’ve seen both oceans, the gulf of mexico from different points of view. I’ve slept under the stars in the Rocky Mountains.

Alec and Magnus occupied the other couch. And the three couples watched … Continue reading The Clave
It’s not news if you’ve been following me around at all, but I was born in the mountains – Boulder, CO specifically. I don’t remember much about them before I left at the age of 5.
