Thanks for all the updates & links. If I weren't ill, I'd be volunteering too.

i thought quite a bit about volunteering down in LA, but I need to stay here in portland. my partner might go down there next week. i'm looking into joining a local search & rescue. they definitely need "logistics" support, so i'll volunteer to do that in the short term. i could start training to be part of the rescue teams if i learn how to climb.

it may be too much of a stretch for me to be a climber, but i'm going to the gym this friday to try it out. i'm probably in the best shape of my life right now, so i figure i might as well try.

i am just feeling like i have not done enough.

i'm sorry to hear you're ill. i've read a few of your posts about it.
