Dear Son

You have to bring the good time with you

You have to bring the good time with you.

Sunny weather.

Cloudy weather.

Doesn’t matter.

You can’t predict, nor control, what hand you’re dealt.

All you can do is make the best of whatever you’re dealt.

Those distant mountains really pop when the sun is shining brightly.

Not so much in cloudy, rainy weather.

Be okay dancing in the rain and letting your own light reach the mountains.

No really

The similarities are different

Glacier easy trails — Trail of the Cedars is a flat trail, not quite a mile. Elevation maybe 4,000 feet.

Glacier Hidden Lake Trail — The climb starts at 6,640 feet.

Logan Pass parking lot in evening — Logan Pass parking lot thins out after 6pm.

Two hikes an hour apart. One shaded, short and flat with no visible wildlife. The other trail steep and longer, in the hot sun. The 3,000-foot altitude gain allowed the (hot) sun to feel complementary instead of adversarial. Rewarded with a hairy marmot and two mountain goats on our return descent to Logan Pass visitor’s center.

So What?

Seeing the upside is the only option

Waterton, Alberta — Never knew there was a town nearby.

Prince of Wales Hotel — The view, in person, is as good as i had imagined.

Prince of Wales Hotel painting — Some perspective. The town of Waterton is the peninsula on the right.

Watertown, Alberta city deer — Watertown city deer at crosswalk.

Waterton, Alberta was a delightful mountain lake town. I’d go back in a heartbeat. They had “city deer” that roamed freely in front yards and were kid friendly.

A bizarre experience…

So funny how all those important issues at work seem so trivial compared to the life of a loved one.

Yes we can love our job and worry about the business all the time.

Just keep things in check.

Okay?
