RP:  And Annapurna is just a character in Finnegans Wake.

Did you know that Erin hiked the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal? That's a 200 mile journey around the Annapurna Himal, up the Marsyangdi River valley to Thorong La, a three-mile high pass, and a majestic trek down to the Khali Gandaki River valley. She carried her gashlycrumb tinies lunch box with her. It was either that or Hegel's Phenomenology.

Just a note of clarification: it was the Gasherbrum tinies that she carried. A complete account of her her journey can be found in the American Alpine Journal for 2004, or at

Robert Paul,

waiting for Hegelian enlightenment, or hypoxia, whichever comes first.
