Very busy with finishing the packing and prepping the house for our renters. In the midst of all of this, it has suddenly become real to me that we’re walking away from a perfectly good life — nice house, great neighbors, great community, great job, etc., etc. Kind of reminds me of a line Clint Eastwood said in Heartbreak Ridge just before a parachute drop: “Jumping out of a perfectly good aircraft is not a natural act.”
But, just as the brave, brave soldiers of Heartbreak Ridge leaped to save the people of Grenada, so we have our own heroic mission. As Gunney finished, “So let’s do it right, enjoy the view. Come on.”
