<span style="font-weight: bold"> 38 days till the 6th Annual OIALFT</span>
Not that I look forward to this every year. Not that I feel that 51 weeks of the year are spent working and planning for the Annual Kodiak OIALFT. Not that looking at images like
or
or even
make me wonder why I get back on that plane and come back to NY each year.
All I know is that tomorrow I will be one day closer to seeing my friends Art, Martha and Riley and get that much needed shot of peace, quiet and serenity that comes with this trip each year. That coupled with
the tastiest pie on earth as well as fishing till our arms fall off
makes the OIALFT all it can be.
Neil and Joel, of course, dread that week each year as they must do all I do. I think that while am not there they come to realize that it is no easy task. It is the one week each year that I do not log onto a computer and trust them to do what needs to be done.
I'll do a post a couple of days before and remind you to e-mail Neil @ [email protected] and Joel @ [email protected] to see how they're doing as I do not want them to be lonely.
