off on an adventureForrest, I’m interested to know what was the reaction of both your parents, in detail, when you announced you were off with your buddy into the mountains for the adventure? Cheers. James

 

For whose adventure James, and what mountains and which buddy? Your question could fit any one of several episodes I experienced during my youth.

Generally speaking, my parents were wrought up with frontier spirit and encouraged me to run free if my pursuit appeared wholesome. There were no soccer moms when I was a teenager and my parents never worried for my safety.f

 

Best of luck with the Thrill of the Chase and all that you seek!  Enjoy life’s adventure!

And Happy Father’s Day to all Dads!

  1. What a wonderful surprise. Thank you for today’s Featured Question Jenny, James and Mr. Fenn. Gosh, sure sounded like you had great parents that encouraged you to just go out and explore. Now I know where you get your adventurous side from. Apple didn’t fall far from the tree. I don’t think you knew the inside of your home, except to lay your head down at night. Then again, you could probably have been found outside in your sleeping bag. Good for you! 🙂

  2. Those were the good ol days Mr. Fenn. It would thrill my heart to run free again… from sun up to sun down under the blue Montana skies, without a care. Thanks for an enjoyable post today. I hope you enjoyed being with your family on Father’s Day.

  3. Must be a middle child thing. One of the best compliments I feel I ever heard was when my mom told me one day “you know, I knew early on your daddy and me would never have to worry about you. You’d always figure out a way to come out on top.”

    1. It’s 8.25 miles north of Santa Fe, up to the U.S./Canadian Border, in the Rocky Mountains. 🙂

      Mr. Fenn is choosing the questions to answer. I’ve been thinking of different questions to ask, but wording it is the trickiest part. He is quite clever with his answers.

  4. IMO Mr. Fenn is trying to explain that growth/knowledge from the time we were much younger to present, that mistakes will be made and it’s how we deal with those trident mistakes intentional/unintentional is a true search for character. Sure our Mom and Dads are guides that will not be there all the time and in those moments that is when man can see himself in the abyss and that is when character can be built upon, not only to do the righteous things but also face any rebukes that may come their way, IMO. Thank you Jenny and Mr. Fenn.
