Just in case you were wondering whether or not I have dropped off the face of the earth, disappeared into a black hole, or fallen into the river, I have not! I am alive and well and thriving. I am working on a post about my first course, but there is so much to tell that I have not yet completed it. I finished course on November 6, and have relocated to the Fairhope, AL base until November 27. I am doing support work here for a FINS course, which means that I am helping out the course director doing whatever needs to be done, and meeting up with the group on the river for solo and river visit, but am not out there the entire time. I'm up early tomorrow to pick up the group with the van and trailer, so I can't stay long, but would like to share a picture of my co-instructors (Alex and Kim) and I from my first course. This was taken at the Scottsmoor base during follow-up, late one night when we stayed up till all hours doing paperwork! I didn't take my camera on the river this trip because it is not waterproof and I wasn't totally confident that I could keep things dry, as everything got soaked during NST. Hopefully I'll have some pictures from the field in the near future, however. Ale ta-ta!
Great to hear that your new life chapter is going well. Our semester keeps marching forward--it's so hard to believe that it's almost Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteIn case you are not following Hope sports, the vball team earned an "Elite Eight" spot in the NCAA national tourney. They looked GREAT last night against a team from OH.
