Away

Happy Birthday Dad!

We're heading to New Mexico tomorrow morning.

Tonight, I mourn the loss of Sir Edmund Hillary, a remarkable (and humorous) man.

When I was in Dunedin (NZ) I visited the Otago museum and saw their Everest/Hillary exhibit. Looking at the photographs, reading about their trip, and then seeing the equipment with which they made their climb was... awe-inspiring. They had an area where you could write a postcard to Hillary and they actually sent them to him... I think it was mainly for the kids, but since I'm just a big kid I wrote one.
