    Wednesday, March 19, 2008 | An Inspiring story

    I am 181.4 pounds. That feels good to say.
    Thanks to my recent week-long hiking trip, not great food on the trip, and continuing to exercise upon return, I've lost about 5 pounds in about 10 days. Ahh. Now, in the scheme of things, I have a ways to go, but it's a start.

    I have lots of hopes and desires, and things I dream of. 
    I know my legs may be useless, I may travel b...
