When I said the other day that I'm quitting, I wasn't kidding. I had every intention to go home and stay home, regardless of the supportive comments I've surely received from the true friends of Aimless, urging me to keep going. However, I received a ride and a phone call today that made me rethink my plans, and I've decided to stick with it. As I rode with Ronald Weber, I received a call from a German fellow named Stefan (sp?), who I met last week at the Portland REI. He offered to buy me an REI gift card so I can replace my tent. He just didn't want to see me quit, and he wanted to give me a good reason not to quit. The material offer certainly helped, but his words made the difference. I'm not sure exactly what Stefan said, but he said several things that made me start reconsidering. Once I started reconsidering, though, the friendly chit-chat with Ronald also helped me change my
mind. --> I have A LOT to say about the last few days, but I'll finish the 'Ungrateful' rant first.

Wow! Practically in mid-sentence I see that you have changed your mind. I am glad to hear it!
Very good bro! Hope you are able to make it here on your journey home.
KEEP GOING!
Thank you, Ronald and Stefan. Ryan has gone so far and had so many wonderful experiences to end on such a sour note. I've been worried about him. Thank you to everyone who has positive comments for him.
All you need is love, love, love...And a tent. Rock on dude! Just think of all the songs you can write from your experiences. docrivs on lead, Roman on rhythm, ? on bass, and bringing on the backbone....Ryan on the drum kit.
