I’ve been reading a lot about Lewis and Clark, lately – a compulsive part of spending most of my late summer in Montana. I am amazed at what they did and saw in three years. Trekked across a new country…and back. Trekked is an understatement. Surviving the new terrain was a lot of the accomplishment.
I’ve been thinking a lot about the “3 year” time period. Law school was three years, my knee injury was three years. I’ve been thinking about it in the sense that a lot can happen in three years. Lewis and Clark journeyed from St. Louis to Oregon and back. Sagajewa had a baby. Life in the West changed.
Soon, I will have lived in D.C. for one year. A quasi-one-year, as I've lived here off and on since 2006. I suppose I’m reaching around the three year mark for my transition to D.C. life. In terms of jobs, I never hit the 3 year mark in any of them. I’m ready to.
Something about Lewis and Clark has been motivating me lately. It's the hope that a lot can happen in three years.

have you read "Undaunted Courage" by Stephen Ambrose -it's pretty amazing - the sheer endurance required for what they did - their lives after the fact were pretty sad...
Good suggestion, thanks!
