It takes a fair amount of work to churn out a long

It takes a fair amount of work to churn out a longbow over the course of three days, but it's incredibly fulfilling.
Last weekend I joined three other students for a three-day bow-making workshop with Correy Hawk, and had a blast. We all came away with beautiful and functional bows, and an awesome experience.
I've toyed around with making a few bows in the past, but this instruction chopped off a lot of the learning curve and helped me internalize the process. It's how I learn best - an expert sharing knowledge directly, working hands-on, and getting to really dig into the subject matter.
This workshop has been one of the best investments I've made in myself, and I'm grateful I had an opportunity to take part. Many thanks @organic.archer

What a strange thing, a friendship between a human

What a strange thing, a friendship between a human and a dog.
We don't always understand each other, neither of us is perfect, and sometimes we get in each other's way. Then again, I guess that's just part of being friends.
And the best thing about this friendship? It never ends.

The world is beautiful.
Don't misunderstand me, I know we've got a lot of stuff to work out, problems to fix, challenges to overcome.
But if we only focus on what's wrong, we'll lose sight of what's right.

Rediscovered a great spot with my bestie today. Happy to spend a little one-on-one time with her, but also excited to bring the whole pack here soon.

We've been together a few years, had some ups and downs, a few moves, added two dogs and one Tom... Things sure have changed, but we're still a team.

Sometimes you just need a night in the woods, next to a fire, even if nothing went exactly as planned to get there.

Clarissa and I hadn't been to Sylvan Lake since our honeymoon in 2015. But with our friend (Auntie) Amanda staying there with her family this weekend, it was a good opportunity to take Tom for his first visit to Custer State Park.

Recently came back from a trip and after spending hours in the airport, I did what writers do - I write about it. If you've ever noticed how weird airports are, follow the link in my bio to read the article.

Last week I got stuck in the Denver Airport as my flight home was delayed. Again. And again. And again.
As aggravating as it was, it also provided an opportunity to think about just how strange airports are. You know what I mean - the interactions with strangers, the morning beers, the meaninglessness of time...
And being me, I wrote all about it. So if you'd like to read about why existing in the airport is so strange, just follow the link in my bio.

Well, Mount Shasta wasn't meant to be on this trip

Well, Mount Shasta wasn't meant to be on this trip. Because of minor injury, we ended up turning back. It's always disappointing when things don't go the way we want, but it's better to have everyone make it back safe and sound.
So, Mount Shasta, I add you - with love - to my list of unfinished business. I hope to see you again soon.
And for now, I'll have to find another mountain to summit.

This morning, as I let Inkling run through the park during our walk, I noticed how much she has slowed down. Having had surgery on each one of her back legs takes it's toll.
But she still runs and romps with joy. Just happy to be out there being wild for a moment.
She's little and broken, but still good.
Yeah, still good.

And maybe a stick.

I love getting this little man outside as much as possible. I'm not a perfect dad, but I hope some of what I share with him sticks with him as much as it sticks with me.

Another axe I customized. I actually started this one first, using it to experiment and test the process before working on my friend's gift. I figured I might as well finish and put it to good use, right?
