Day 1709: Getting close

After four hours of work, most of the music has been added to the Quest movie.  All that's left is a piece to accompany the credits.  In addition, Amy explained how we can access the emailed photos we got of the creek gorge.  I'll try to access them tomorrow.  So, it's close to completion.

Of course, the trip is getting close too.  We are trying to settle personal details, pay bills, pack, and do yard maintenance.  But, we also feel pressure to have all the fall backpacking work done so it doesn't hang over our heads.  Steve has been collecting materials for the parent and student packets.  We will assemble them upon our return.  Plus, I've committed to doing presentations for all three faculties and that means a short video to share with them.  It's funny how pressed we are already and the backpacking season has hardly begun.

And most importantly, the election is getting closer.  The forum last night was so upsetting to me that I didn't sleep.  Matt Lauer was a disaster as moderator and did not follow up on Trump's lies and deceit.  I was screaming at him as he let opportunities pass by without holding Trump accountable.  It's maddening.  And then Reince Priebus tweeted that Hillary didn't smile.  I wanted to rip his face off.  So very sick of men telling women they have to smile.

So, first I swam out my frustrations out in 300 lengths and then I wrote another big check.  108.5 miles!
