Just wanted to thank the shit outta all my pals - thanks to you I've SURPASSED my fundraising goal for the Hike For Discovery. Now I can relax and not worry about having to cut a check (which would inevitably bounce) to make up for the difference. I can look forward to my weekend at the Grand Canyon and enjoy myself and all the cool people I've met. This has become a more meaningful experience than I expected it to be, and I'm grateful for that. And everyone that donated has added to that for me. I am truly grateful.

I am totally looking forward to trapsing down the canyon - and to my impending death as I trip and roll and stumble and tumble down, ricocheting along the canyon walls. I have decided that, upon my survival of the Canyon Hike, I will mark this milestone with the End Of My Booze Fast - at least for that night. I'm gonna get loaded. Fer sher. WOOHOO.

SO THANKS!
