Matthew Ryan’s latest release, Boxers, is an album crafted by one familiar with real suffering, who’s seen how dark the nights can get, and doesn’t quit because he’s learned the sun always rises.

A few months ago I received a message from my mother asking if I have ever seen or heard Off Camera with Sam Jones and more specifically the interview he did with Matt Damon. I do enjoy a good interview....

How to Make "Kendall's Tomato Soup"
How to Make "Kendall's Tomato Soup"
about 2 years ago

I grew up disliking any form of liquified tomato, especially flat, tasteless tomato soups. (Most kids had to finish their milk, I had to drink a cannon V-8 before heading to school). So I decided to make a soup I would enjoy. To my surprise it was such a hit they asked for the recipe. Problem was I didn't write anything down...

The other day I watched an early 90’s promo video for a backpacking outfitter I worked for off and on over 14 years. You can watch "Jeremiah Johnson" or any 70’s outdoor film and pretty much get a sense of what the promo looked and sounded like, complete with some bluegrass soundtracking. Not much has changed when it comes to mountaineering...
