Well, so far May has been pretty insane for me, but the trails are finally starting to firm up and I'm trying to get some hiking in when I can. Only local trails... nothing extended. It may be some time before I will have an opportunity for anything longer than a quick trot around a loop trail. The long days sure are nice though... it is getting light already at 4:45am, and it will stay light until well after 10pm tonight. I just wish it were a wee bit warmer.

Just spent 2 weeks in an EMT-3 class (adding a cardiac component to my EMT-B plus IV/Intubate skills), and now I'm looking at maybe going back to school starting this summer. I've got some stuff in the works but won't know for sure for a little while yet. One thing is for sure... it won't be in AK!
