Welcome

Well, the time has come; I have, as it were, taken the plunge and put in my notice at work, and I will soon be heading out to hike the Appalachian Trail. For those of you still fond of me, you may follow my adventures here. I will try to keep the posts light and breezy, saving my philosophical musings and Deep Thoughts for when I see you in person, and to put up pictures occasionally. For the rest of you, I will be keeping a tally of water and insect-born diseases contracted, broken bones, blood-blisters, and encounters with dangerous beasties and digits and appendages surrendered unto.
