We are in Pittsburgh, PA staying with some really good friends of ours, Jeff and Shannon. We came a day early because this past week we went hiking into a wilderness area in a national forest in Virginia and on our way back out, I fell and sprained both of my ankles, at the same time. Now this whole hiking experience was not one of my favorites. Partly because we had to ford a wide, cold stream 6 times on the way in and 6 times on the way out, but also because the temperture is dropping, especially at night. So, with all those things combined we ended up here a day early and will be in Cinci by the end of next week.

P.S. The blog below is my real blog for today and is more just about my thoughts recently.
