Hi...nice reading your feedback about my article.  Well stated.  I've also had the opportunity to hike the Grand Canyon and enjoyed other places like Zion National Park and Death Valley.  I hope to instill a love for hiking and for seeing the beauty in nature in my grandchildren.  And you are quite correct...I do have a "life" which includes driving cancer patients to hospitals for treatment and helping my very elderly parents as needed.  These are important but serious endeavours, so its nice to have the opportunity to play a bit with the grandkids and occasionally experience some magic.
