I'm doing the same thing I did before the hike: Landscaping. And, still 
enjoying it. I do not have Springer Fever. I have never had Springer 
Fever. I suppose that as a southbounder I had Springer Fever every day. 
As I said in the article I wrote for the local newspaper, I do not feel 
fulfilled. (Therefore, it is not 'out of my system'.) So, I guess, to 
answer your questions more directly) It changed my life in that I have 
an accomplishment and memories. Not doing anything different (other than 
adding Mellencamp to my client list :) I will thruhike again. (soon) Not 
interested in the PCT or CDT. Is that enough?
