Get On With Life

Michelle & I decided to hike the Meadowdale Beach trail this afternoon. It's only a mile and a quarter each direction, but the first half mile descent is brutal. After a couple hours and a picnic lunch I couldn't eat, we started up the hill.

The first half mile the trail rolls along the low-lands; easy. Then the trail gets serious. I made it, but not until several little old ladies passed me on the steeps. Being to stubborn goat I'm told I am, I did it with out relinquishing our pack full of camera gear and picnic stuff.

Stubborn goat; sucking wind; struggling to stay hydrated: it was worth it. It felt good to be out in the world doing real world stuff, instead of feeling like a patient.

I'm ready. Let's get on with life!
