Progress to date (in red):
Quote of the day from my college friend, Brad: “I think when
you die, you lose all your airline points.”
Eiko, Sho, Saya and I spent today with Brad and Lisa Graff, treating
ourselves to one more rest day in Portland before making the final push to the
Pacific Ocean. I met Brad the first week of college in 1986, and we’ve been good friends ever since. When you're 18 years old, it’s difficult to
project nearly three decades into the future, and it’s kinda strange to be here
already. Brad brought out a box of
photos from our college years, and everyone laughed at what nerds we were. Yet another reminder to treasure each moment,
because they sure do disappear.
Today’s saddest moment was saying goodbye to my sister
Becky, who flew back to her home in Nashville.
She made a big difference to me over the past week, and I appreciated
the chance to share a part of this adventure with my big sis.
Today’s happiest moment was making sushi together for
dinner. Eiko taught Brad and Lisa the
nuances and intricacies of making sushi rolls and nigiri, with help from Sho
and Saya. I was impressed by how quickly
Lisa learned from Eiko. Brad, not so
much. :-)
Today’s coolest moment was when Brad and I came across two
coyotes playing in a field. I thought
they would run away from us, but they were having too much fun frolicking and
chasing one another to worry about the two humans nearby.
Here are some pics:
