Day 64 It is a Small World.

Graduation was very nice. The weather was perfect and ceremony was not too long only about an hour. George, UCONN offers a 6 year program...I turned to Helen when they announced this group of people and said these most be the Dummies. But this a real program. Can you imagine if Leo's had a 6yr program when we were there. We would not have survived!!!

Anyway, Keri's degree is a BS Kinesiology (the study of exercise). She is going to be trainer for a sports team eventually. I told her to keep tabs on our blog to give us some advice on our training. After the Ceremony we went back to her professor's house for a party. There I learned he was going to run the Transrockie run this year as well. But he had a change of plans and is going to do it next year and conduct some kind study on the runners. It is a small world!!!


Got to talk to Paulie about our quest. Off course he gave me one more thing to worry about. Hypothermia, says we need to be careful gear wise that we have warm clothes after a tough climb as we will be sweating heavy and then the weather can change especially at the elevations we will be at.

He was leaving for Guyana tonight to build a small hospital in the Jungle somewhere. They were going to try to bring drinkable water to the hospital. He said anytime you want some tips an how to live without a steady job and travel to remote area give him a buzz. After he gets back from Guyana he is headed for Yosemite for the summer where he will be working at the park in the back country chasing bears.

Took about 4 hours to get back to NJ. Had to take a couple of detours due to the Mother's Day traffic. Got home in time to get the suicide walk in.
