Office Prep

Almost 7 at night and still at the habitat office. Doing what i can do get things in order so the trip can at least start smooth. Blog is almost squared away. Only to more days of working on site. I've got volunteers on sat, my last day, and I'm lookingt forward to it. It sounds like the best way to end and have a great time. We'll be taking down a tree, I hope they eat their Wheaties!

The long island leg

On my way back to philadelphia after visiting my parents on long island. Had hopped to get all my belongings stored in their house in prep for my bike move to the west coast... This is one of the last times i'll be making the philly-->ny trip. Maybe i'll grow to know some new roads as well as i know these. My doctor says that physically (except for the minor food poisoning brought on by a bad reuben) i check out. Mentally, however, he seems to be of the same camp as my parents. Apparently this is a very dangerous endeavor I'm undertaking. I asked why he mostly seemed concerned about my sexual health when i went to china. He thought it was b/c i wasn't alone in china. Funny, I sure felt alone.

Anyway, it feels like I've found a lot the support I was looking for from my friends. Jim offered to put together a donation and pledge site and lots of people are already pledging to pledge. My parents got me a nifty new phone that I plan to use to maintain this blog, so stay tuned.
