It was a summer that sent the dizzy pulse of fever into the sky,

in which even rules and laws that usually stood straight and

purposeful grew limp, like plants exposed to the afternoon

sun and grow weak. The heat softened and spread the roads into

sticky pools of pitch and melted the grease in the Brigadier's

mustache so that it drooped and uncurled, casting shadows

on his fine, crisp presence. The bees flew drunk on nectar

that turned alcoholic...

The week started with Jenna joining me on an early morning hike. She lucked out...we had Camelback on the schedule! ....a favorite hike among guests and guides alike. It was a beautiful morning. Jenna was quickly loved by one and all of those hiking with us. This was the beginning of the end of my VERY short stint at FR. It was to be my last week hiking with them...and their last week of being associated with Biggest Loser. What an ideal gig I had out there. Im so grateful for the opportunity to re associate with the good folks. And hiking with Jenna is always a treat!!

We next celebrated the 4th of July!! First by going bowling!! Once again..dear Jenna is the party planner and instigator of all good times!!
