Friday's raft trip was such fun that I think I'll try to organize a spring trip on the New River. The New is a strange bit of geology - it runs from South to North, and is one of the oldest rivers on the planet. It has great rafting - large rapids, large water volumes - in the spring. Late April or early May would be a great time to do a trip, because the Appalachians would be in full bloom with dogwood, redbud, trilliums and daffodils. Would be spectacular.
Dial access problems are pretty much resolved today, though just how is not clear. Evidence points to local phone line problems on Friday and Saturday, but it's always worrisome to have digital machines exhibit analog behavior. I like closure.
We've extended our stay here in KY, and why not? The weather is great, my daughter has time off, and the airlines were accomodating for once. This is a great example of the freedom you can have as an independent professional. As an employee of The Firm, I would've been dragged back to the left coast by meetings, deadlines, and guilt - the three main ingredients of corporate life.
