Training Day, England. Sunday Jan. 20th 2008.
#11

After I see the neurosurgeon Tuesday, my life will be a little more in focus....Then I can make decisions on whats happening in September. I have been to a lot of historic places connected with the Civil War, but Gettysburg remains my favorite. I've spent many an afternoon wandering through the fields there. I used to go every year in November for the rededication of the National Cemetery and the recreation of Lincolns speech. Its a six hour drive and the older I get, the longer it seems. I used to date a guy there....so I used to make that ride a lot.

Antietem is beautiful. The Bloody lane can be very moving to walk and contemplate what happened there.

Who knows, maybe I'll convince you to do Gettysburg as part of your trip....
