Weekend Put On Hold...For Now

Well, it appears as if the mountains will have to wait at least one more day. The phone system vendor did a less than stellar job of re-configuring our system and we shall now have to continue the work tomorrow morning. At least the group hike up to Muir is not until Sunday, so that will not be jeopardized. I also got the chance to speak to Claudia's daughter, who recently graduated from high school, this evening. She has experessed an interest in becoming a fire fighter so I had the opportunity to impart to her my perspective on that career. She actually found it funny that after over twenty years of fire and rescue work, my one overall comment on my experience was that it was "a rock-solid blast", but then that is indeed it in a nutshell and she got it straight up. I hope that it leads her to explore it further, for there is no better career in the world, as long as you have the mentality for it. So, until tomorrow...vertu svalur
