     Pretty cool to sign off with that GA>ME99 thingie, eh?
     Huge congratulations to you and to your family. A HUGE thing.
     I wonder if you're going to be at the Gathering to tell us all about 
     it, and to let us meet the Wendy?
     You're sure that the desire "to strap on <your> pack and walk again" 
     will fade over time? Yeah, you're right, but "time" could be a while. 
     You'll have to get used to unlimited hot water, a larder that doesn't 
     have to be eaten through before the next town, a roof that doesn't 
     need to be checked with every blow of wind or rain, a night that 
     doesn't need to start with a flashlight at your elbow..........
     
     Again, congratulations. And do you remember our "breakfast" bet?

Hi guys,
     
I'm back from my little walk in the woods, having summited Katahdin on September
21st in the rain, sleet, fog and high winds. It was INSANELY GREAT!
     
I'm going to be entering the last of my journal entries on my web page and 
rejoining the world over the next couple of weeks. 
     
It's nice to be home - but I feel like I have to strap on my pack and walk 
again... I'm sure that feeling will fade over time :).
