Happy birthday, Nick

Today Nick would have turned 30. Happy birthday Nick, wherever you are. I hope we can pull off your party, though the weather forecast looks a little threatening.

What "big adventure(s)"?

Nick Cipa, my brother, passed away suddenly on March 16, 2011 from complications arising from Evans Syndrome. As I wrote in his obituary, Nick was a lifelong fan of the Pittsburgh Pirates and the sport of baseball-- he could spout the most amazing, most random historical facts. He was also an enthusiastic outdoorsman who enjoyed hiking and camping, alone or as an Eagle Scout helping with younger scouts.

Nick was trying to visit all 30 MLB stadiums and hike the entire lengths of the Laurel Highlands and Appalachian trails. He & I had also planned to hike the Milford Track in New Zealand. These are my adventures (and inevitable misadventures) carrying on for Nick.
