Welcome, or welcome back, to my blog. Pre-pandemic, I had a little website called thedirtdad.com where I housed my writing and musings on designing a life dedicated to the outdoors and a gentle push back against the over-informed, media saturated world we all live in. Somewhere around the pandemic, I let that website lapse.
In the years that followed, I found that I miss writing.
So here we go. A new experiment and a repository into my philosophies on life. As the child of an engineer/dreamer and a librarian/artist, it’s forged by fantasy, grounded by research, and dreamed up on long road trips, miles of river travel, mornings in the garden and endless hours on the trail or sitting at belays.
It’s a sort of “modern mountaineers’ pastoral philosophy”
It’s going to be messy, anti-niche, and probably will fail all the algorithms. But hey, “You can’t stop the signal.”
Can you dig it? Interested in following along on this journey? Drop your email below and I’ll keep you up to date.
See you out there,
Jim
