LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Jen rests on Akrafjall, a two summit volcanic mountain, Iceland.

'LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT: WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HIKE-ABOUT?'

Hike-about is an adventure that commenced June 2010. After storing our household movables, ridding ourselves of a house but retaining our 'home' together, we set off with the purpose of hiking in different parts of the world, not forgetting the home country, the USA.

Our primary focus is hiking to mountain peaks but any challenging hike will do just fine. Extended stays enable us to enjoy and experience living in various places amongst differing cultures. Hike-about has evolved into a way of life. It's also a process of discovery, both the world and ourselves.

We work and live 'on the road' but return to the city in which our grandchildren reside, every three, or slightly less, months. This provides us the wonderful opportunity to be with them as well as a child or two, even three and of course, friends.

By the end of 2025, the blog contained over 1,800 hikes (far less than actually undertaken), each a set of pictures with stories and anecdotes from the trails. An index to the right allows the viewer to identify earlier experiences.

Finally, we are often asked about the journey's end.
O
ur reply, as accurate as we can state, is: "When we are either forced to cease through health issues or the enjoyment level no longer reaches our aspirations, we will hang up the boots."

"A Life Experience As No Other: Dare to Seize the Day Together", published by Fulton Books, depicts our life on the road and mountains until the beginning of 2017. It has developed 'exponentially' since then.

71.10 Portugal: Geres: The Flora of Geres and Special Mothers...what a combination.

As this blog happens to be ready on Mothers' Day, why not publish it today. 

  Precedent is a critical aspect of law and its understanding of judgements passed. Sometimes, things are not easy to define as we found out when US Supreme Court Justice Jackson was unable to define a woman. The bar, legal and other standards, appear to be very low when a justice fails in such definitions. Fortunately, the bar for the high jump seems to be maintaining its level, possibly because it's part of a very competitive environment. Then again what do we know. 

  One other aspect, referring to the Supreme Court justices I found amusing, original, and perhaps random was that of a comment of Justice Potter Stewart. He said 'pornography' was something he could not define, but he would recognize it when he saw it. Hmm!  While I'm not as smart as Supreme Court Justices, I certainly have the knack for recognizing a woman when I see her.*** (see end.)

  Okay, what's going on as this certainly does not purport to be a legal journal. Try this. While we love and are forever admiring the beautiful flowers that surround us constantly (universally), many I'm unable to identify. I thus seek an excuse to avoid undertaking extensive research and rely on precedent of the highest court of the United States, together with the beauty of flora itself, to charm viewers without my interference. Alternatively, I am lazy.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey Laz(y)arow 

  *** Please forgive me as I might have erred. Whereas I respect women, obviously, and as I mentioned, am able to identify them easily, should I have given the impression that I understand women, then I was wrong. Please accept my apology.
