and i m all for this daughter/mother bonding experience but what would dr. brzezinski say if mika said, hey, dad, i for my 52nd birthday, i decided to march up mount kilimanjaro. i can only imagine, but he did prize the things that people did that were hard. oh, yeah. the quality of people that made them tough is what he loved the most. thank you. he knows i m tough. he d have appreciated you getting out of cell phone range. oh, my god, i can t do it. over the weekend how about a different mountain. alex suggests mount airy lodge. why don t up just relax? you are in extraordinary shape. mika has started running again like five and a half miles a day. i do. she s in great shape. she even asked me if i was interested in going.
