It took 13 years of training to keep that promise - now the real work starts and I get to pay it forward.
Life is good.

Congrats, may you have a long history of healing...and inspiring others to follow your footsteps.

You stand as a rock solid inspiration to us all. Now I really need to get off my butt and get to PA school! Thank you for setting a truly outstanding example of excellence, sir.
Cheers!
Mick

Lake has been rising 8-9 inches per day.
Weather's nice in the morning; water temperature is about 75 degrees.
Have enjoyed some good times with the kids this summer.
Had a sobering thought this morning while on the lake.
Men I've never met, in places I've never heard of, are completing dangerous missions about which I'll never know.
Men such as these make possible the life my children enjoy.
Thank you all for your service and sacrifice.

Kids 2&3 were playing in the surf at Seal Beach, CA back in May.
We found an island in Lone Rock bay this morning where we could beach the boat.
Kids 2, 3, & 4 decided to paddle the tube over to "claim" a couple of other islands (Lone Rock can be seen behind them).
I swam over to supervise some cliff jumping (Lone Rock beach can be seen across the bay).
Some of the side canyons were just becoming navigable a couple of weeks ago.
Snapped pictures of some young bighorn sheep coming down for a drink.

GC,
Looks like a lot of fun. I have good memories of great times with my kids at Lake Powell - eons ago - with their cousins down from Orem, UT.
Great pics of the bighorn.
When they're ready to scuba - pm me. You can get a bulk rate!

Here are some pictures of the McCallaghan-Tillman Bridge walkway. I edged my ass along the concrete wall separating it from the Nevada-bound traffic lanes. With the 40 mph winds, gusting to 50, I felt like I was "standing in the door" - sans parachute. Japanese tourists were near the rail, one with a child on his shoulders!
