K2 On K2 they perished – though they were picked from the most able – the resources of their expedition were a given – we do not challenge these odds on a whim, – and even so – they perished. An unforgiving wind Tons of ice and snow Breaking away Falling And reaping a freak [...]
Sophistication Do you mean to tell me that you are not a sophisticate? You are not “in”? And what does it mean to be a sophisticate? – it might be worth knowing since it is so highly sought after in our developing world – especially in Western culture. Like the serpent of Eden – the [...]
