Why I Never Summited Mt. Everest, and Miscellanea

by jadedmuse - last update: May 25, 2008

The Eternal Quest for Good Arabica


I've had an obsession about Mt. Everest since we traveled to Nepal and Tibet in October of 2002. I have no interest whatsoever in climbing it - my interest in Everest is more about the pyschology motivating those who feel compelled to summit (sometimes, at the cost of their life). I have a ton of books and material on Everest. It's fascinating and terrifying and exhilarating and intimidating. It's also just a little bit creepy.

Seeing it from a distance was satisfying enough for me (both on the ground, as well as from the air).

Good luck and safe climbing, to anyone who attempts to summit Everest.




Oh - and I also tend to my ongoing obsession for good coffee.



Motivation: the perfect visualization of a rich, aromatic cup of java waiting for your delectation



Conondrum: what to do when two double-shots of espresso just aren't enough

 In your backyard now. Posted updates to my Melbourne,FL page. Found Bunky's improved since my last visit so all is fine. I trust Gabby is growing and prospering. All the best.

 Thanks for dropping by Michele! :-) I've been slacking a bit recently where VT is concerned (2 months since I last logged on!), but I've got a renewed enthusiasm for adding to my pages! :-) Hope you are keeping well and enjoying your travels! :-)
