is there a meaning to this? is it a person, place or thing? a birds cry! or a Sasquatch scream!...
for those who have been in the mountains with me - you know this sound...
a trade mark if you will, a distinctive noise that was me...
skiing in the trees, getting separated, you could hear others yelling but in my group all you needed to listen for was "hoot-a-who" and you knew i was near...
this is a high pitched, fast burst yell that spells individuality and made it easier to find friends...
i bring this up because the other night as Pam was putting me to bed, with a tear running down her cheek, asked me if i remembered yelling "hoot-a-who" - creating a beautiful moment...
here are these moments again - even in times of challenge we are making memories...
so create new moments, remember old moments and next time you are walking in the mountains listen closely you may just hear "hoot-a-who"...

About Me
- T
- Two years ago could walk on any basketball court and challenge anyone and compete. Two years ago would go to any ski resort looking for the steepest, deepest runs and cruise down. Started getting a little weaker in my left arm but thought nothing of it. In May 2007 three words changed my life *Motor Neuron Disease* at first you say "so, what does that mean?" then you start looking at the definition - not good... So this is my story, my family, my friends, my community with some insight too - hope you enjoy!!
