<p class="intro">Thirty-eight years of curriculum design taught me one thing worth passing on: people learn on their feet, in good company, with a book in one hand and the outdoors in the other. This little corner of the web is where I keep the lessons that never made it into a lesson plan.</p>

<h2>Literature on the Trail</h2>
<p>A six-week reading circle designed for senior hikers — pairing classic chapters with walkable excursions. Every session has a reading, a route, and a question meant to be answered under open sky.</p>

<h2>Hiking for Seniors</h2>
<p>Roles, schedules, and trail examples from three decades of leading groups — the practical skeleton of a program that keeps everyone moving at their own pace.</p>

<blockquote>"Every good classroom I ever ran had two walls missing — one opening on the bookshelf, the other on the creek. The best lessons happened when the students stood in the doorway."<span class="who">— from my retirement, which lasted a Tuesday</span></blockquote>
<h2 style="color:var(--bark);font-weight:normal;margin-top:1.5rem;">From my garden &amp; my ledgers</h2>
<p style="font-size:.95rem;">When I'm not on a trail or a page, I keep a small herb garden (the rosemary outlives every volunteer), hum Mozart's Sonatas while I file, and over-book my own calendar on principle. This site is my second brain, and these pages are the chapters I actually tell people about.</p>

<p>Built with the forest in mind. Sources and working notes live beside each page as machine-readable twins.</p>
