Leaving with my folks for Georgia this morning. This may be my last post ever from Green Lantern (my laptop). I probably won’t post again before about Neel’s Gap (trail mile 31).
I’m very happy to be getting on the trail (which I will do Friday). Wish me luck.
Did I mention it’s snowing? Supposed to get [...]
I’ve seen lots of deer in my time in the various woods. Well, there’s lots of deer out at Radnor Lake. Back when I used to volunteer there, the ranger, Randy, told me about how they had put some tracking devices on a family of deer, and discovered that on most nights, they crossed I-65 [...]
… i realize that i just can’t stay
But I’m quite happy to be here, the launch pad for my AT adventure.
Had a great last day in New Orleans. Then, slight change of plans, instead of driving the Natchez Trace, I dropped Jill off at the Memphis airport (she’s flying to Mexico, we have tiny violins [...]
We have arrived in The Big Easy and are on our way out for a drink. More later.
I am back at the hotel now, after having volunteered today in the Broadmoor district, via Rebuilding Together New Orleans. It was actually just me and the project leader – Hannah.

My goal all along was to get “just past El Paso.” Jill was looking at the map and warning me that there was nothing just past El Paso. I told her nonsense, it’s [...]
… And I didn’t even have to use my AK…
Got up, and went downtown to a matinee show of the LA Philharmonic, at the Disney Concert Hall. OMG is that a gorgeous space – all metal on the outside, all wood on the inside, beautiful, and sounds great, too. What we saw was three short [...]
It took about 6 hours to drive yesterday from 17th Street in Oakland to the Sunset Strip, including a lengthy lunch stop at a Denny’s somewhere on Highway 5. I had created a playlist called Drive – 73 songs from my collection (I didn’t have to buy any) about driving, leaving, going, traveling, or wandering. [...]
