+Oh, I should explain the lack of postings over the last two weeks.
+During the first part, I was developing some explainatory graphs to
+test my tension balancing implementation (fun, fun :p), and during the
+second part, I was hanging out with my Mom, Aunt, sister, and neice in
+Estes Park, CO.  Mom moved out there a few years back, and it's a very
+nice place to go visit.
+
+The cinematic highlight was a 2-day 1-night hike in [Rocky Mtn Nat'l
+Park](http://www.nps.gov/romo).  I stayed in [Hayden
+Gorge](http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~wking/personal/pics/2008_rmnp/15-campsite_hayden_gorge.jpg),
+and this was my first explicit-bushwhacking trip.  It's maybe 8 miles
+in from Bear Lake, which took me around 11 hours, and 3 miles out to
+Trail Ridge Road which took about 10 hours :p.  Take a look at [this
+deceptivly non-topographic
+map](http://www.nps.gov/romo/planyourvisit/upload/detailedmap.pdf).
+The hike up to Trail Ridge from the bottom of Forest Canyon is up a
+mile in a mile, and it's about a third each of pushing through dense
+forest, bouldering, and open hiking.  Took me about 7 hours, and I
+ripped the sleeve off my shirt :p.  Had a good time though :).  I've
+zipped up the [other pictures](http://www.physics.drexel.edu/~wking/personal/pics/2008_rmnp/hike.zip) if you're interested.
+
+Besides hiking, I cooked with Mom, talked about people's views on
+homosexuality with my sister, defended my stuff from my niece, hung
+out with my Aunt and the dogs, and learned a lot of family history :).
+Good times.
