I had a dream last night that you were back in Lake Oswego running a bike shop. I thought to myself “why would Profe be back in LO, he’s off living the dream!” But life has a way of playing tricks on us, eh? Sometimes we get distracted from our dreams and then sometimes a giant tree hits us and only then are we forced to come back down to reality.

I’m glad you survived to tell the tale. I’d love to sit down and hear your story face-to-face someday. I’m graduating in May. My dream is to fly down to South America and backpack around for a while. I’ll probably be following in the footsteps of another Ian… but if possible I’d like to walk with you for a while. Any idea where you will be by the end of the year?

Thats probably a stupid question because who really knows where they will be at the end of the year. But regardless we should keep in touch… perhaps our paths will cross down south somewhere.

Hope to see you soon,
Ian

so my sister said you were in town. hey thanks for contacting me so i could come visit you. she said she liked you a lot.

im happy to hear that you’re safe and continuing your walk. im very proud of you. not that you need my praise, but i just wanted you to know that i admire you.
