Aaron and I are planning on doing a lot of hiking in the upcoming months. I’m training for a trip to Macchu Picchu in April so we’ve been doing a lot of hiking during the week (since both of our jobs are pretty flexible). Let me know if you are interested in hiking with us!

Hello Matt,
I have been following your blog since the death of my husband in February 2010. I was looking for help with the pain. Your story and your blog ‘grabbed’ me and I haven’t missed an entry. I am glad to hear you are publishing a book. Your story has a universal appeal as evidenced by the following and publicity you have received. I have watched you forge through your journey with confidence, wit, humour and grace. You are an amazing man and father.
I have often wanted to comment on an entry, but when I would see 431 comments (!) I wouldn’t bother. Well today, there are only 71 – people must be on holidays!
I realize that you are at Camp Widow this weekend and I was tempted to join you all there. I am currently on a road trip from Calgary (home) to Santa Barbara, then east to las vegas. I sit in a tent in a campground outside Santa Cruz at present. Ya gotta love 2010 – sitting in my tent with a laptop, keeping in touch with the world!
Be well and blessings to you.

I’d love to hear what it is like taking a 2-yr-old to Disneyland. Any tips and suggestions? My husband says we have to wait until our little one is 4 but I disagree. It looks like Maddy had a great time!

Hope I’m not posting twice – but I fear the sidewalk tantrums though I just endured a difficult plane voyage with my 17 month old from SF-NYC… SO I guess it was a warm up. Anyway, would love to be on the widow blogroll (how many people say THAT?! Jesus.)
Thanks again,
Susan

Liberty Fest is awesome… my friends who live on Darn Republican Street have hosted many a good time in Chetek and loved me through my best beer truck/street dance moments and my not-so-attractive times too. So fun to see pics from there, esp. since I wanted to go this year and had other plans. Shit. It is such a small world.

Maddy is really growing up! I love the look on her face in the photos in which she’s a) staring at the baby (your neice?) and b) at Disneyland sitting next to Brooke. Awesome.

Wow! It looks like everybody had so much fun. I love your dress by the way. The kids were pretty busy too, and I also could not the awesome two year old tantrum on the sidewalk. lol! I also have some awesome memories of my daughter during that particular stage. Anyhow, I enjoyed looking at your pics.

So next time you are up in the San Fran area, you should bring Maddy up to Tilden Park in Berkeley. My husband and his family run their miniature live steam engines up there (like the ones at Griffith Park) and I bet Maddy would love it!! My three year old son just got his first train last month and I bet they would have a ton of fun playing together. Here’s the website… http://www.ggls.org. We would love to have you guys come up and give Maddy a train ride or two.
