In other news I have been informed that I won the lottery and can go do the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc. (Patent pending.) This leaves me with a difficult decision. I don’t really want to go due to time and money restrictions. But it is a uncommon opportunity. And an excuse to go to Europe. I’m still going to try and get the registration moved to next year. There are other places I would like to go this year. In March I’ll be in Houston. Then in fall I’ll be in Costa Rica. And I have friends who have invited me to visit them in San Francisco. So many interesting places to go.
Technically, I was supposed to make my decision by Tuesday. However, I think I got an extension, because an email from the organization gave a date in February for the deadline. I think this is because I was asking about getting my acceptance transferred to next year (denied.) Then on Tuesday I got the news that my father was in the hospital and there was no way I was going to make a long term plan. And my cousin in Geneva is expecting twins so I would not be able to stay cheaply with her.
I shall decide officially on Thursday.
