the big day...

everyone is restless...i'm not sure if i am delusional with peace or if i am crazy cool...either way, it doesn't stop us from getting the news tomorrow about ord exams...

i remember last year, people sobbing and walking about in a daze...some were so shocked that it took 15 scotches to usher in reality...i feel torn...back in august i convinced myself that if i prepare for the worst possible outcome it just makes the news that much better if it isn't as bad as i have prepared for...call it pessimism in it's most positive form...

wyoming was great...it snowed 6 in the first night at camp...i slept in a tent that had a stove...i had good talks with hunters from georgia and new york...i met a mormon cowboy that was quite possibly the most handsome man i've ever met...i wrangled horses and fed them daily...i mended busted fences...i earned my keep, so to say...nestled about 8600 ft above the earth...where nothing but snow covered trees and firewood catch your attention...good stuff...

rest well all you out there with anxiety...i'll toast one- or two- um, maybe more to all the brave ord takers...regardless of your grade....
