    If my husband survives and thrives after his bone marrow transplant, then I will plan to come, probably a little earlier and do some hiking.

After that was asked to moderate Q&A session on other trails besides the long ones. Look forward to it. ” How did your presentation/moderation go? Any interesting happenings at the Gathering?

    Quote from Sarcasmtheelf: “Yep, also I still have no idea why my photos always rotate on this site and TOS. ” I think you do it on porpoise to make us have to stand on our heads I've been doing some expediting lately for my friend who broke her shoulder; I drive and she rides shotgun. Anyway, on Wednesday we had a delivery up to Midland and as we were leaving, there was smoke to the north and east obscuring the skyline. Not sure it was drifting in from Canada; perhaps it was the fires in Graylin…

    Walked up to the local pool complex this morning to drop something off to the Aquatics Manager. Staff were working on getting it ready to open this weekend. A duck family, Mama and 7 baby ducklings have taken up residence. Staff had procured new lane lines yesterday and were putting them into the 50 meter. Mama and the babies just hopped over them. Well, one or two of the ducklings had a little trouble and Mom had to give them a boost. Sorry I didn't take a picture but they were cute.

    Quote from odd man out: “We saw a mother bear with cubs in Cades Cove, GSMNP today. It was pretty far away, so this is the picture we could get. You'll just have to believe me. ” I believe you. When we camped in Cades Cove for about 3-4 days in 1994, we saw about 8 bears in Cades Cove. Very exciting for our 10 yo daughter.

    Haven't been able to get out on any trails but I'm working part-time at the golf course at one of the entrances to the subdivision so now that spring has finally sprung, I've been walking to work several days this week and last. The flowering trees are so beautiful. I've decided I'd like a pink dogwood to replace the pine tree at the corner of the house that grew way too tall and my husband had cut down.

    My sister and I are going to hike in the Arc of Appalachia in southeastern Ohio for 4 days next week to see the wildflowers. We're not backpacking as she's reserved a cabin in the area. So, I need to get packed this weekend as we're leaving on Monday.

    My friend called me up last Friday to say that her SO was going on a boy's golfing trip to Hilton Head for 5 days and asked if I wanted to do a hiking trip. Well, I didn't have time so I said I could do a day hike. We went on Sunday to Island Lake State Recreation Area. There are about 4 diff hiking trails. I've been on 3 of them and I wanted to do the 4th which is the yellow trail. The yellow trail and the blue trail start from the same parking lot. Friend used the outhouse then we walked a sho…

    And now #15 Princeton beat Missouri to progress to the Sweet Sixteen. The Big Ten went 5-3 in the first round. Three of those teams play tonight: Penn State, Northwestern and Maryland. I don't think any of them will get through to the Sweet Sixteen. Lastly, congrats to the Tennessee Volunteers for beating the Dukies!

    Quote from odd man out: “I'm also a Spartan (went to grad school there from '81-'86). This year they are not doing well so I haven't really paid attention. Are they is consideration for the tournament? ” A very big part of the reason for the problems the Spartans have had were the injuries to SF Jaden Akins and PF Malik Hall. Also that there's no killer instinct. I kept yelling at the TV that the Spartans needed to put their feet on the necks of the Hawkeyes when they had the 13 pt lead with 94 …

However, they outscored the Cornhuskers by 25 in the second half so won by a score of 80-67. whew. The game with Minnesota that was postponed due to the tragedy on our campus has now been cancelled so we will have…
