Sunday.....September 21st....2008

Busy weekend with the smokejumper reunion and all. Tomorrow we pack for a Portland trip as well as a week at a Wings seminar and a week in Mexico...without returning home in between.....AND I'm doing some strike picketing duty in Portland in my spare time.

Linda has been experiencing increasing pain in her upper back...8 plus weeks now...with no relief in sight....each doctor has had a different theory but no resolution. Tonight she went to the neighbor who worked on her range of motion and all to get the healing started.

The reunion was a great time to see folks not seen in over 30 years and to revisit times I spent as a much younger man. I was amazed at the career achievements by the jumpers of my time. Today we got to go out and watch a practice jump....with their new technology and all. And what was amazing was the number of women who are now jumpers.
