Sorry...

I dropped off the face of the earth because of a music conference, but I'm back to provide you with more information about the progress of my dad. And, pretty soon, I'm gonna start posting pictures from the LAST go-round as well as the 2007 trek, which seems to be going well. We spoke on Father's Day, as fathers and sons are wont to do, and it seems like everything's going well, particularly for a man who just hit 60. He said he's lost another 20 pounds or so and his clothes are hanging off him. I don't doubt it. He also reiterated the fact that he thinks the Virginia part of the trail is one of the most beautiful parts so far, however remote.
