I was reading up on all the postings and trying to reach out to Jim and to you. I certainly can hear and see what you are going through. Wonder if partners (wives) of sailors off on a six month cruise feel similar things. My heart is with you. In my attempt to get closer to Jim I turned to Google Earth and downloaded the entire tracks of all the shelters along the AT. I imagine I can reach out to him at each shelter. I downloaded your spreadsheet of his schedule and will look at it. What a wonderful journey in life for both of you. You, my friend Libba, are easier. I can just pick up a phone. Hope to hear your voice on next Monday's PP. Al
