I do like the outdoors and nature. I dont like the naive view. I like the real thing. Sometimes it can be scary and sometimes it hurts. I still like nature. I like wilderness. Camping in North Georgia is quite nice. There is a alot going on as usual, at work and at home. I think I am going to sell the humvee. I dont need 5 cars. I have some more work to do to it, but after I get what I have planned done. Its gonna hit the road.

The Relay for Life went pretty much as planned. However, I got a sore throat and a nasty cough over the last few days. I wasn't going to sleep out in fear it might get me more sick.

I am participating in the Chenango County Relay for Life event this coming Friday night. It is a fund rasier for Cancer research facilitated by the American Cancer Society (ACS). I will be up most of the night Friday Night up in Norwich taking turns walking around a track growing awareness and raising money with my Team.
