uninvited guest in my backpack

HI Kevin
I have discovered an unknown talent of mine through your blog. Reading your posts backwards up the page! Well, not the whole paragraph, but read one and go to the one above it. Before you laugh, it actually works as you post pictures and then talk about them later! If I would keep up everyday, it wouldn't be a problem.
I want to help you out with the trip but you wouldn't want an adhd person planning your journey of a lifetime. I'd have you stuck in a tree somewhere in the mountains with only the birds to ask about God or gods.
You would, of course, be welcome here in northern Arkansas on our couch, and you could meet Jeff Hodges brother, I think you know Jeff, who is a Baptist preacher. We live in Jeff's hometown and old stomping grounds. The problem is that we are not very exciting or different in any way from every small town in America. We have multitudes of different churches but nothing that would give you a different perspective on religious thought... Alas, we are just an ordinary but kind community.
I hope that your family is looking for a huge rock to commemorate(probably not the right spelling) your trip at the end.
One more thing, it must be really cool at night because you were in lots of protective down stuffing!

Just for the record: Kevin's Walk Central does not inquire into the medical history of any of its applicants. (If they did, then I wouldn't be here.)

BTW, Jeanie, I notice your profile says you're a retired teacher. In Arkansas? I taught at the Arkansas Governor's School in Conway for a few summers in the early '90s.

Hi, Alan,
I was just kidding about the adhd!
I was serious about the offer of a couch if Kevin is planning on coming across Arkansas. I'll go to couchsurfing and check it out.
On the teacher thing, I am very familiar with the Ark Gov. School as I was a gifted and talented teacher/coordinator for 12 years.

ps--In my post this morning, I meant that Jeff's brother is a preacher, not Jeff. I did not state that with great finesse.
