Doug is having permalink issues. So here it is Doug, my opinion. There are things way more important than the blog and family is one of them. Go to Colorado! And if money is an issue do it anyway. Try fasting food and live on juice to save some cash. After the third day it is not that bad. The body is an amazing thing. I did a 40 day juice fast one time and it was awesome. I cant imagine going 40 days on only water though. Gene Chapman has my respect. I look forward to seeing his blog come along. No wimps Doug, you can do it.
