Today, with any luck, I will sit down in a cubicle for the first time in two weeks and blog. It's not that I dislike watching the world from the safety -- not to mention sanctity -- of the World Headquarters of NewsCut, it's just that sometimes I run across things that make me think about the things I would do if I were young again.

Did I mention that Dupre is 50?
He tried this last year, too, but a storm pinned him down so he spent 22 days alone on the mountain. Maybe he spent some of that time dreaming of blogging in the comfy confines of a cubicle.
He hopes to make it to the top during a full moon on January 9th.
You can follow his exploits here.
