Taking A Walk

by Dwayne Phillips

Instead of walking into Georgia, we drove back to Northern Virginia. An early morning e-mail from my oldest son informed us that he and his wife were at the hospital with her in labor. She gave birth to a healthy boy – James Timothy Phillips. The new mother is also in excellent health.

My chief of the support crew (my wife) is now far more inclined to be a grandmother than a support crew chief. Unless I can recruit another such crew chief the walking will stop for now.

My goal was to accomplish one third of the walk by November. We have accomplished one half the walk in the same time, so I am quite happy with our progress.

I will now take some time to write from notes that I have taken and put on the side.

And by the way, it is a great feeling to be a grandfather. And by the way, I have the most wonderful daughter-in-law in the world.
