was able to contain me for several months. Just before Christmas I caved, my
plan was to go public at the Ruck about my hike but when my little
granddaughter could keep quiet no more, she let it slip that she got me new
poles. Well, if she can be that excited, why can't I? I have developed the
OCD stage of Springer Fever.

more. Says Mrs Hopeful, "Why are you planning? Don't you remember all this
from '03?" Wet blanket.  I do remember but it's like I have to do something
trail related. So, I started counting how may trail journals there are this
time. It seems there aren't near so many as last year. About 80 compared to
about 450 is what I count. We "about" doesn't actually pass as a "count."
Hmmm, maybe I'm ADD too. Where is Orange Bug when you need him?
