With most goodbye's down, my room packed, and my bags all set and ready to go (after many trial and error) I think I'm finally ready to start my journey. There's just one thing left…

                                         …a BIG….. 

                                                                                 …FAT…

                                                                                                                        …THANK YOU !

These last few days have been a whirl wind for me. I've been up, i've been down, I've been all around town… tieing up loose ends, and getting the last few things i feel i need, to live comfortably for the next 11 months.

But last night was one of my most favorite time's i've had in a while. I couldn't have asked for more supportive friends and family! Thankyou! I think around 40 people came in and out last night. We enjoyed a great potluck feast, and it was simply superb! I will miss all of you, and I very much appreciate the support! Encouraging cards, moneys, and smiles were so awesome! Last nights company sealed the deal for me… that is, i'm so ready to go on this trip, knowing that so many people are behind me!

Thankyou for your continued prayers and thoughts! 

God bless you in this upcoming year! 

Cheers, Frank
