28 days

In the last few weeks we have been doing a boatload of work trying to get all of our ducks in a row for the trip. But we are making headway with just 28 days left to go before we leave. Right now we have several possible children's cancer charities to choose from, one that will directly help some of the victims of the Hurricane and we are working on getting some sponsors to help with web and administrative fees and gear. If you are interested in being a sponsor, email me at callie.householder@mac.com. Thanks Brad Hanna on all your hard web work! You are a big help on making this thing happen. On top of all of our running around get everything together, Dwight is back on the road with Cowboy Mouth AND trying to get two guitars finished for Southern Comfort by the end of the month.
Since they have no home to go home to, this New Orleans band has been going like a freight train, non stop. Luckily for all of us, they will be here in Atlanta at the Roxy, this Wed the 21st and then again on Oct 1 at Earthlink live. So come support them, they may have lost their hometown temporarily but not their energy and drive to give the best show every time. By far they put on the best live show of any band I have ever seen and if you are sitting down at the end of it it's only because you are passed out.
In other news, Dwight and I got lost at Kennesaw Mountain, because for some reason I always get lost there. It all looks the same! And I am predicting that like our upcoming hike in Spain he was just following my lead. We ended up doing over 6 miles of tough mountainous climbing, and at the end of it all it probably wasn't even comparable to what we will be challenged with on our first day on the Camino. A 15 mile hike straight up and over the Pyrenees! Bring it on!
