We did lot of activitys outside of work and had some fun. Angie joined for on the weekend activities. It will be a very memorable time for all involved.

I did a nice hike up Blood Mountain in North Georgia Saturday night with some new friends. We timed it for a near simultaneous Sunset/Moonrise with a harvest moon. It was a lot of laughs. The hike (which I had done before) is quite difficult. Officially, it is rated a 4 of on a scale from 1=Easy 5=Very Difficult. Night hikes are fun with friends, no doubt. The video was taken by one of my hiking companions.

Sunday I had some fun adventure Inside The Perimeter (ITP) in the Inman Park area of Atlanta. It was a lot of fun. The dog picture needs a caption.

I wonder what camera was used there.

Night hikes are great. Experienced my first one just 2 weeks after you did, except it wasn't a classical 'hike': it was part of a 128km alpine ultra-marathon in Northern Greece. It took me almost 29 hours to finish, so it included the whole night on the mountain. Awesome experience, I have to say, to be all night in the forest, not seeing much, being focused on your run and the noises in the forest. Will do it again this year :)

Saturday I went spent some time with Douglas and his new horse. I can't say I would jump to get a horse. But, I always think new experiences are a good idea. His horse is really nice and he has a great financial and care taking plan for it.

I am in LA. I missed my connection. I did manage to get the red-eye out tonight. So it looks like I get to spend another night on a plane. I slept last night. I probably got 4 or 5 hours of sleep. I caught up with a fellow ice person last night for the flight. We were recounting the experience. Our experiences and impressions were very similar. He was saying that he can't describe a lot of it. He went on to say that even looking at his photos, they didn't tell what he was experiencing. We agreed about how strange it was meeting the winter-overs we were taking over for when we got there in October. "They had that weird stare and they talked ok and everything but there was no emotional content to what they were saying". There is a zombie like quality to some people who spend a lot of time on the ice. After a couple of weeks at pole he was medivaced to McMurdo for altitude sickness (there were quite a few this year). It got better and went back to pole. This guy is a ...

I never get sick of taking pics from the air. This pic is over Suwanee, GA at 3100 feet above the ground (AGL). I reminded myself that I need to take an aerial pic of my house and my neighborhood. I will get to it this week or next. The other pic is from my Gazebo this evening after I got back from flying. I have been corresponding with previous owners of the property. They did some great design work.
