A trent’anni la vita può apparire tanto eccezionalmente intensa quanto deprimentemente vuota; tutto dipende dalla prospettiva che uno assume nell’osservarla. Io la mia la vedo al momento un tanto intrecciata, piena di X e quindi -in un certo senso- affascinante. Altri, in questi ultimi mesi dedicati alla preparazione dell’imminente, lungo e solitario viaggio intorno al mondo, hanno assunto un punto di vista totalmente distinto, quello del Se io fossi te . Tale visione del mondo si riassume con una frase di De André: “Si sa che la gente da buoni consigli se non può dare il cattivo esempio”.

Hey there beautiful people, yesterday (actually, almost a month ago!) not only did we gain an hour of light we also manage to tak advantage of the time change and get to the Italian National Park of GRAN SASSO (BIG o'STONE) If you'd like to know more go to Wikipedia's Gran Sasso page or the Climbing Gran Sasso page. One evening last week, Sean returned from a hard day's work (as usual) in the office writing about space and says Marcus wants to go up a mountain this weekend. I’m like sure and thinking - knowing Marcus the likelihood of him getting up before NOON that it just might not come to fruition, right? WRONG!
