How does it feel? Everyone asks that. It was like "sliding into home base." There were no blinding lights, no magical moment, just -- left the office and drove home.
On the 30th I drove up to my son's in Tennessee and am here having celebrated my birthday with 36 of my son's neighbors. My daughter-in-law is one of those people who can put a party together and be hostess and make everyone feel comfortable. She's a gem.
Since I've retired, I don't have to drive back home just yet, so I'll be here for a bit longer.
I'm reading

Thru Hike wise: All set to start 18 March 2006 from Springer. Plan to do some preparatory hiking in October and in November. I own all the gear except the Sawyer water filter, Ursak, food and cook pot. I'll use what I have to see if it meets my needs. Not sure if I'll take Casey with me in October, but may. She's been in the kennel (with Chester) all this week and just might enjoy a short saunter in the woods. Nothing strenuous. Guess I need to do a bit of waterproofing when I get home.
I had posted images of my gear, but some of them refused to show up, so I'll make that available at another time.
