Eight days to go, and lots of last minute things to check off the Big To-Do list. Of course I have a list for that, I have a system for everything at this point.  So much so, that a fellow hiker suggested my trail name should be “Spreadsheet”, in order to adequately and mockingly describe my obnoxious overplanning behavior. It’s a cute idea (and probably well deserved), but nah.  I think I’ll stick with what I have for now, and see what the trail provides. On the bright side, my YouTube subscribers list has been inching up lately … clearly more people prefer to see my ugly mug than read my eloquently crafted journal entries.  So, who am I to fight it?  Give the people what they want … Hello Neiman!
