\"DescendingThe arrival of Summer was a strong incentive to better manage my work life and my personal life. May was populated almost entirely with work including a small job where I played a military officer and had to chop off all of my hair (much to Erika’s chagrin). Yet June and July were a beautiful balance of manageable work hours and many days off to get out of town. Among the more interesting activities were summiting Half Dome<\/a>, hitting four canyons in Zion<\/a>, and hiking up and down the Grand Canyon<\/a> (it rained on us this time). Comic-Con<\/a> was pretty enjoyable this year also. So far August has been promising. I was able to run an extremely fun and wet canyon in Kernville called the Seven Teacups<\/a>, eat some crawfish at the Long Beach Crawfish Festival<\/a>, and Steven got to test out his quadcopter<\/a> while we climbed in Texas Canyon<\/a> (video below).<\/p>\n
