First, a Happy Birthday to my sister Katie, who turned 30 yesterday.
Over the past few days, Katie, my other sister, Ann, my brother, Colin, and I hiked portions of the Appalachian Trail, including the arduous Agony Grind section in New York's Sterling Forest. Hiking the entire 2,174 mile-long trail has never been a goal of mine, but now I'm actually (mildly) considering doing so.
In other news about writers, the Christian Science Monitor reports that an American preservation group is working with parties in Cuba to save Ernest Hemingway's house from ruin. This is already sparking political debate. I, for one, don't see a worthy connection between embargoing a renegade government and saving a historic site of international importance. For more information, read "Will The Bell Toll For Hemingway's Havana Home?"
