Tim Henkels, a perspective from higher ground

My English teacher in high school decided that I was best placed in the
"average" English class. In her judgement I wasn't "Advanced
Placement" material. I was a baggy-panted, skateboarding, punk
rocker who would have no use for her literate teachings.
Mostly, my writing, is about proving her wrong.
It's also about taking a different, often humorous, perspective on the
world in which we exist. I've been rambling around mountains for most
of my life, and while perched at the edge of some of Earth's amazing
vistas, I've found a novel perspective.
So here it is, A Perspective From Higher Ground, known only to the
condors and the climbers...and to those who don't listen to the voices
that say, "No you can't."
