One week before the adventure begins

It can no longer be argued if I go! It is one week before a 7:00AM flight that sets me on my way to Albania. With a little trepidation in my heart, I am mentally ready to once again engage in my profession. I hope to keep my eyes open, my ears listening and my mouth politely closed; and respectfully to not be an "ugly American".

Thanks to my step-daughter for setting up the blog space and my son-in-law for the edgy title of this blog.

Most importantly, thanks and love to my wife for letting me leap(she may have pushed me!) off this cliff.

I write this in a mid-life moment to my dearest friends and family. There are no limits to what we can achieve, if we step outside our comfort zone(s).
