Syncing Passions

I call it “syncing passions,” combining activities I love, increasing both the effectiveness and enjoyment of each. Like hanging out with students and climbing mountains.

In the last four years, I’ve summited at least a half-dozen times with my favorite people. Plus, we’ve practiced for the higher peaks with a dozen or more excursions into Palo Duro Canyon.

Students know—if you’re going to hang out with Dr. B., you’re going to be hiking, eating, or both.

Wish I could put into words how much pleasure these experiences have given me (this video captures some of it), and I’m already thinking about how to sync passions in retirement.

Am considering travel writing, or maybe restaurant reviews. What do you think?
