Hi Jeff,
I've been reading your blogs lately. You're doing a great job of writing them--much better than your usual email correspondence. You must be writing with the mind that they are being read by many people. They sound so authoritative, almost straight out of National Geographic.
I was particularly interested in you multimedia account of climbing Pacaya. I had no idea that there were so many people in Guatemala that enjoyed shooting clay pigeons. In this country skeet shooting is usually pretty expensive. It's mind boggling to think that there should be the remains of so many clay pigeons that high up on the mountain as to cause you difficulty climbing. Good thing Mom sent you my mountaineering reference book.
I'm sure that with all the noise of the volcano that you probably had to scree-m to be heard. As a teacher whom students take as an authority, may I refer you to Merriam-Webster. Perhaps you should check out Definition of Scree and Definition of Skeet. Interesting that both words are of Scandinavian origin. Maybe you had a blond moment.
Love,
Dad
