The Almost Old Hermit

I'm just a guy hiding in the French Alps, doing life and stuff after fifty

I’m no expert. I’ve been a mule driver, hiking guide, actor, cook, and designer — so I know a thing or two about mountains, mules, and Mexican food. For everything else, I’m just making it up as I go along.

I live in a cabin in the French Alps, almost doing life and stuff after Fifty: almost old, almost retired, almost finished building my cabin with an almost-empty nest. 

I share small victories, misadventures, quiet mountain moments, and other incoherent ramblings—all in the hope that maybe it’ll make midlife feel a little less chaotic for almost all of us.
