Retired/Packed/Heading out tomorrow

Today was "officially' my last day as a fulltime teacher at SWCS! I don't think it will sink in until after I get back from Nepal later in July!
Not much left to do but throw my personal gear into a duffel and head for the airport tomorrow!
I will post entries while en route....half the fun is being able to be "just another face" in the traveling crowds!
I have some Outstanding news to report! My good friend and fellow International Adventurer.....Dr. Lyndon Gritters..... is back in Lakewood after successfully summitting Denali!
I want him to tell "His Story" after he has a chance to rest and recharge after the 23 day climb! So be checking the paper for what will be an outstanding report!
However.....I would like to let everyone know that Denali is considered a Pinnacle Achievement in the mountaineering world! My hats off to you Lyndon!
One of the many things I respect about Dr. Lyndon Gritters is his philosophical outlook toward Extreme Adventure and Life! He loves the Journey and all it entails.
As Ed Viesters says "Getting to the Top is Optional.....it's the Being There that makes it all worthwhile!"
On the way!
