2025

 Hello my four loyal readers!  Sorry I haven't blogged lately.  I'm too busy living my best life! (Except I miss my family...so, maybe not my best-best life, but living "Hot Trick Summer!") For context, "Trick" is what people here call me, because there are only like five people I allow to call me Pat (my mom hated that nickname, and Annie doesn't like it either).  So, a few years ago, with the help of my Gen Z peeps here in Utah, I was rebranded as "Trick."  And I love it! Two months have elapsed since I updated this blog, and I've spent it in Cedar City.  Working.  Working on lines and blocking, working on myself in the gym, and working on letting go of the negative energies that I fall into more often than I like.  And it's been pretty amazing!  It's been too hot to go on my long walks, so I go to the gym six days a week, and on the seventh day, I try to get into nature and climb something.  This past Sunday, I got up before dawn...
