From Insomnia to Scotland: Climbing Arthur’s Seat
Posted on January 10, 2012 | 11 CommentsIt is 2:11 am and I realize that I took my first international flight twelve years ago. Twelve. As in two more than ten, as in… I’m freaking old.

And, while he seemed to effortlessly excel, I took notes on what he was doing to achieve such greatness.
