Shifty and gusty, but I'll take it. Today was my last session ever. As many of you know, I've been battling ALS for the past 2 years and it is starting to win. It is just not worth the effort for the limited amount of fun anymore. The turning point was that I was in danger of getting hurt on a easy day. I had 117 sessions since diagnosis. So, that is it. Thanks today to Tom & Pat, Murph, and Don and thanks to all I've sailed with over the years. That makes it a 10.
