There is a lump in my throat this morning as I pack up to leave Washington, with my plans and hopes for the future now in disarray. I wrote a message to the Mexico Desk of the Peace Corps yesterday, explaining that for medical reasons I am no longer a candidate for service there thsi fall. It was tough to write. I got an immediate reply wishing me well, and offering to reinstate my application immediately if my medical condition should stabilize in the future.
For all that, I am looking forward to arriving in Seattle this evening, and to seeing Ellen in the airport. It will be a great time there, surrounded by family. And this morning I will be able to attend the Washington Live Earth Concert on the Mall, and maybe even have a little time to enjoy the Smythsonian Folklife Festival on the Mall before leaving for the airport.
Not a bad way to leave Washington, considering.
