[at-l] Will it ever end?

More of my inane memories...

Ten years ago this morning, Alice and Marty took me back to Hot Springs. It
was raining/sleeting and the mountain roads were dangerous. Marty was 
drivin'.
We met Wingfoot at the Smoky Mountain Diner. Alice and Marty ate and ran.
Wingfoot and I had a nice, long chat. It confirmed what I've always
said: I like Wingfoot. It also confirmed something I hadn't been sure 
about:
I wasn't going to rejoin ATML when I got home. I am not the type of guy
Wingfoot wants on his list. I am probably not the type of guy a lot of 
you want
on this list. I digress. Anyway, I knew the message I would bring
back from my hike wasn't the message Dan was gonna want on his
list. I realized that over coffee.

I left town in a cool drizzle, a little past noon. Walking out of the
last trailtown was a bittersweet thing. It was dark and cold when I sat
down on a Bluff Mt rock for a Snickers Bar. It was much darker and
colder when I got to Roaring Fork Shelter. I think it was a little after
8. There was another guy in the shelter, asleep. I quickly woke him. We
had a nice long chat. He was a mind doctor of some sort. I played with
his while he studied mine. (Minds, that is). It got VERY cold that
night. It warmed up enough to be raining the next morning,
though....
