I think my whole life has been one of sort
of daring, and sort of sailing against the
wind instead of just going with the wind.

Five Years Ago
Five years ago today, I had my first Moxie:
Day 165, 7/21
Three fords on the day. Second one was the west branch of the Piscataquis River where we used the rope to get across. Muddy and buggy again. Made it to Monson and have a room at the Lake Shore House. We were a mess when we arrived. Rebecca (owner) and Chelsea got us squared away and we're on our way to being human again. Tried a "Distinctively Different" Moxie soda. Very good!
Notes:
Planning to zero here tomorrow. Getting ready for the hundred mile wilderness.

When you see something that is not right, not fair,
not just, you have to speak up. You have to say
something; you have to do something.

Joseph Stanton Update
Terri posted this on Joseph's Facebook page last month (June 3):
We are feeling so tremendously blessed especially today on the 10 year anniversary of you surviving a massive traumatic brain injury.... against all odds, and against all beliefs of every doctor in the acute hospital, against our gut feeling… but God had other plans and we couldn’t be more thankful. Another decade of being able to hug you and smother you with kisses every morning making sure you know how thankful we are for the way you fight every day for your life. It’s a different life than what we imagined that you would be leading at this point in your life but nonetheless so incredibly grateful to still have your by our sides. We love you so very very very much.
