Commentary
I donated blood on Friday, flippantly agreeing to give “double reds.” Looking back in my records, it was at least 15 years since I last did that kind of donation…AND IT SHOWS! This reminds me of when I climbed the Blanca Massif (Southern Colorado) a second time 17 years after I first climbed it. What was I thinking? If maturing had kept pace with aging, I’d be wiser than that by now!
By the way, there’s a very good photograph that my climbing buddy Darol took of me on that climb: https://www.bhepp.us/2012/09/haze-a-photographers-friend/
