Hey D.A.

The main reason I "lurk" is that there are a lot of great discussions but in=
=20
order to respond, it would take a large part of my day. That would be tough=20
on my customers, employees, cat, dog, garden...etc... Things are lightening=20
up work wise and I should be able to (and I intend on) contributing more to=20
the discussions. I had to respond to the print on demand thread because that=
=20
is the business that I am in, and hopefully the little bit that I contribute=
d=20
helped in understanding the concept.


Now for my Trail Name---Rotten Ankles--


On 4 count em four, section hikes in the late 90's I broke each ankle twice.=
=20
First was the left ankle in 95 then came twice on the right ankle in 96 and=20
finally the second on the left in 99. The group of buddies that I hike with=20
gave me the name (among others) and it stuck. I dropped my old trail name an=
d=20
adopted Rotten Ankles. Ironically, during all three of my End to End's my=20
feet were never a problem except for the blisters.

I have not hiked as much as I would have liked to since then but better=20
footwear and a slower pace have helped. No ankle problems since.

See ya by the fire.
I'll bring my homemade Barley Wine!
