Getting Lucky

I’m happy to report that a story of mine, “Getting Lucky,” has just been published at SMITH Magazine, an online literary publication out of New York. The subject: Is your luck just your luck, or do you earn it?

To answer this question, I tell about a trip I took in November 2005 to climb three big volcanoes in Mexico with a hardy band of athletes, including one unlucky soul. Some of the actors in this tale – Rich, Terri and Marshall – will accompany me up Aconcagua this month.

Special thanks go to Laura Fraser for connecting me with the good people at SMITH.
