Devo's Reply

a quickie:

Loo, you are hilarious. those stats are fantastic. i don't have time
to comment on them all now, but i just have to say that I agree we can
do it. I pride myself on trying to be an anomaly, so let's not fall
victim to the "10% who start finish" junk. I know it's already
becoming cliche, but i want to be an "ordinary radical" - finding a
balance of simplicity and safety, community and solitude, discipline
and fun, education and worship...all that stuff...plus just be a
ridiculous weirdo for attempting to do this beyond all sense of logic
and practicalism (not a word). what that says about wearing
underwear, i do not know. but we should start researching
trail-accessible water holes, because there will certainly be some
moonlit skinny dips if i'm involved.

as for the blog, i'm in favor. the "fearsome4some" was the name of my
junior high posse, so it brings with it some really hilarious and
occasionally disturbing memories. at the moment i don't have anything
better to offer, but i'll keep thinking. perhaps lame but cute would
be if our team name could be broken down into a matching set of four
individual trail names...this is important stuff :) also, loo, what's
your brother's blog again, because i can't seem to find it and i must
be typing something off by a letter or two?

peace all, and i love you oodles. i'd marry you too - it's a lot
easier than dealing with boys. oooh imagine the beauty - 6 months
with no boys. i will be so focused!

hugs,
devo
