A Little About Me

Lately I've been heading to Nyack to hike, and I'd like to explore more of Westchester and Rockland counties. If you're interested in that too, then please get in touch and we can plan a hike together. Note that I am only interested in making friends; PLEASE do not contact me if you're trying to get laid.
Things I like: Summer hiking, peak bagging, and as of recently, winter hiking.
Things I don't like: Cynics, bores, wimps, the unintelligent, the ignorant and girly-girls.
Mountain requirements: At least 4000 feet in elevation gain and minimum 8 miles for day hikes please--any less is just too easy! Although I still love those kind of hikes, more recently (as of April, 2008), I've really taken to shorter, easier hikes that only take a few hours. A favorite of mine is Hook Mountain (6 miles, 3-4 hours including leisurely breaks).
My type of hiking: I'm a marathoner, not a sprinter, and I like to take time to take photos and appreciate the scenery around me.
Words I try to live my life by: Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back-- Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now. –Goethe
