Hiking at Daley Ranch - March 10, 2007

Last Saturday I went hiking up at Daley Ranch north of Escondido. The previous two Saturdays were absolutely gorgeous, but I was stuck inside all day at the library trying to get caught up on school-work. Therefore, I decided that I needed to get out and do something outdoors at least in the morning. The night before, the weather forecast showed dense fog for the morning, and that did not disappoint. But I still decided to take a shot at it, hoping the fog would be gone up a little bit in elevation at Daley Ranch.

You can read my "trip report" and see some photos here.

Am I missing out?

Well, in the past seven months I have only posted once, although I have thought about posting a lot more. The fact that blogging has boomed even since I created this blog, I wonder if I am missing out. So I will test the waters again and see if I am.

My problem is that I cannot just hit "send" after typing out a message and it usually takes too much time for me to actually be satisfied to the point where I can actually post. And time for a seminarian is at a premium! I will have to try and get over that, just go for it, and see what happens.

When I orginally thought about blogging I was going to comment on a wide variety of stuff that I am interested in, the outdoors, photography, sports, and of course theology. But I had been limiting myself to posting about theology for whatever reason. Therefore, I need to broaden my horizons and just talk about what is on my mind, not so that I can improve the world, but just so that I can get things off my chest, possibly discuss things with fellow pilgrims, and to just tell people what is going on in my life.

One thing that I am not sure how much I can do is interact with other fellow bloggers out there. I love reading others' blogs but keeping up with some of them is hard with the craziness of school, work, church, and home. I have a few blogs on a Google page (a great blogging resource - ask me if you are interested), and maybe I should add some more so that I can stay on top of my more favorite bloggers and hopefully interact with some of them.

That is all for now. Hopefully I can post something of interest soon.
