I've started learning more about my new home-to-be, Vashon Island. One of the school teachers there has just achieved one of his life goals, climbing Mount Everest. I can't say I'd want to do that, but I'm kinda glad that other people do.

The news is a few days old but Jason Tanguay made it to the summit on May 15th
