THE BIG LET DOWN

Ok, I have been trying to post the last three stages of the race but I am in a funk. The past three nights I have had dreams about running different stages of the race. I must admit that I keep having this dream of seeing, Jo, Sjohn and Mimi's lovely bottoms jogging out in front of me and it is a wonderful dream, however, it is followed by a horrible nightmare and I wake-up in a cold sweat as somehow the butts of Sat and George end up in front of me!!!! Helen has to calm me down...I never tell her about the beginning of the dream.

Christine, I am not transitioning well and while I always get hugs from the kids at my school I am missing Kendra's daily hugs. She is a hugger. At least now when I see lightning it is not all a negative experience.

The Old Goats Steve and Doug you are becoming folk hero's back here in NJ. I keep telling everyone about you guys and how you kept kicking the Knuckleheads butts. My local Y has asked me to write an article about the race and I am mentioning you guys in it.

I hope to finish up the last three stages as I have enjoyed reading Steve's posts about the various stages. I would also like to summarize my entire Quest experience dating back to when George and I started it in March.

I am not prolific writer and I am not sure I can express the feelings I have about the wonderful week spent out in the Rockies with just great people. I never thought I could make that many friends it that short period of time.
