Happy trails, Andrew!


Today, March 28th, marks the last day of work for Andrew Simpson. Andrew is a friend from work, and he's leaving not just TJU, but work -- any work. Starting March 30th, Andrew is going to hike the Appalachian trail, starting at the south end in Georgia, and heading north. He's planning on hiking the whole damned thing, too. From there, he's heading to Asia, to hike in India, Nepal, China... and ultimately wind up in South Korea.

Andrew's a great guy, and we've talked on several occasions about walking away from it all and just living life how you want. I'm really psyched to see that he's actually doing it.

He's got a trail journal that he's started, and plans on updating it throughout his trip, but even if he doesn't do too many updates, the first entry alone is worth a read:

Best of luck to you Andrew! I might not miss you much as a coworker, but I'll definitely miss you as a friend.
