I'm happy to be able share a little bit of what I get to see.
Summited Mount Bross @ 14,172 feet on November 20, 2010
Summited Wheeler Peak Oct. 8, 2008 9:30 PM.
Visited Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park's East Longs Peak trail 3 times in 2008, where I climbed higher than I ever have before, somewhere around 13,200 feet? And then on April 2, 2008 11:45 MST I reached the summit of Guadalupe Peak, the highest mountain in Texas (8,749 feet). For my latest news visit my new web site www.davidtconnolly.com
About Me:
 
Since I was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in August 2006 I've tried to keep busy doing the things I love most. Now I'm an avid adventurer on a shoestring budget. I hiked 120 miles of the Appalachian Trail in the spring of 2007 climbed a few mountains, etc. And there are big plans in store for 2010 so please consider yourself invited to follow along.
Hometown:
St.Louis MO, Memphis TN, Dallas/Austin TX
Country:
United States
Occupation:
Writer (Masques IV, Darker Masques), Retired-Musician, Ex-Webmaster, Avid adventurer.
Interests:
SCUBA diving, history, Alpine style climbing,hiking, camping out,
Movies:
It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World, True Grit, The Cowboys, Cowboy, Planet Of The Apes (orig), My Side Of The Mountain (Book was so much better), TBL, O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Rear Window, The World According To Garp, Forrest Gump, Castaway, A fellow named Brian Morgan made a film and was kind enough to let me be a part of the movie! Other movies I've been lucky enough to work as an extra in include: The Rookie with Dennis Quade and "The Ringer" with Johnny Knoxville. I also do extra work on Friday Night Lights - The TV series, every season. Did you see me as one of the cemetery workers at the Saracen burial? Matt Saracen (Zach Gilford) took my shovel away from me and filled in the grave himself.
Music:
Mostly classical. Songs such as Leo Delibes: Flower Duet. Neo-classical too. James Horner: Braveheart - For The Love Of A Princess, Ludovico Einaudi: Giorni Dispari. Some classic rock, current rock, a little c&w, but please NO RAP!
Books:
I've been a big reader all my life. I've even written a bit myself. "Julia's Touch" is currently in print in paperback .It's titled "Darker Masques". The story was first printed in Masques IV, a hardcover. They also have a hardcover edition of M-IV with the signatures of all the writers and it's slipcovered. If you care to take the time check it out.
