We have decided to change the way we run this blog just a little. We both thought that simply putting our names in parenthesis at the beginning of each post was a little tacky, so we have decided to pick out photos that will identify us. The same photo will appear at the beginning of each post by Steven or by James. We feel like this will add a little character to the blog.
This is the photo I will be using. It was taken about two years ago, in the fall of 2008. I do not remember the occasion really well, but I know it is at the local ice skating rink. I probably went over there with a group of friends during that semester of school, and this was one of the photos that resulted!
I chose this photo because it is easy to recognize who I am, because hiking is something I like to do. This was taken in June of 2010, when I hiked Mount Washington, New England's highest peak. Even in June, the temperature on the summit was just above freezing and the wind speed was a calm 25-40mph. The trip was supposed to be a two day hike, but because the weather wasn't supposed to be good the second day, I decided to try for the summit on the first day and I made it. More importantly, I made it back down safely as well. You can't see it in the photo, but Mount Washington is also home to the world's first mountain climbing cog railway, completed in 1869 and still operating today.
The following is the photos we have chosen to introduce each post, and a little explaination of why that particular photo.

One reason is that is simply was the easiest one to make this small and allow you to still see me! Also, I figured putting a picture of me and a train on here would be obvious, but it would not really help you recognize me. Steven and I could both put pictures of ourselves with a train in the background, but then our pictures would not be that unique! I figured a photo of me just out having fun with some friends would work just as well. And some of you may have noticed, that is an Amtrak jacket I am wearing!
And just for recognition, my name is on there!
