Don't Wait

My boss donated to my walk. He is hands-down the best leader I've ever worked for.

He was telling me about the woman he donated in honor of. Her name was Virginia. He was sharing very funny stories about how Virginia went on a campaign to try all the things in life that she had dreamed of but never took the time to do. His stories made her seem like a very funny and fresh personality. He says that she was a big influence in his decision to continue on to higher education after high school.

His stories made me wonder what is on my list. For sure I can think of two things that I want to do in life - and neither of them seem out of the realm of possible...
1. Raft into the Grand Canyon
2. See the Northern Lights (in person).

I don't even need a passport for either of those things! (Unless there isn't a direct flight from the Pacific Northwest into Alaska).

My parents got my fundraising letter this weekend. They seem very interested in my progress. It's kind of nice to experience. Mom reminded me that our Granny died of pancreatic cancer, but only because her breast cancer metasticized and spread. I remember her. She had red hair and a piano, and lots and lots and lots of crocheted doilies.
