Part of a Postmodern Age blended family goes for a hike & scramble up a small mountain near Seattle as they wonder about the future amid echoes of the past, Sunday the 6th of July 2008
Talia, the stepdaughter I helped deliver and raise as one of my own beloved children, with her dog, Joline. We all called our doggie JoJo, tho.
Kristina, my then-third wife (now ex) atop Little Si. A few spires and avalanche chutes rise into the fog behind her on Mt. Si, aka Big Si.
Today is surprisingly chilly for July for a low mountain peak so close to the Sound. The damp fog, brooding clouds, and the threat of rain amidst silence of the unknown felt foreboding at times as the financial collapse of the Great Recession accelerated thru our lives.
