Learning curve

As my wife and I plan our escape from the trap called civilization my stomach begins to churn with anticipation, fear, and excitement. We are feeling our way through the choices that need to made. How will we live? Where will we live? Will we live? We of course have a skill set of most civilized. I have never built a house, planted a garden, searched for drinking water. I don't know a thing about plants, the seasons, or my capacity to suffer. I do know this is something I have to do and fast. I no longer can play this game. My wife is a rock and will be the spine of this whole "adventure" as she calls it. Because that's what this is an adventure of a lifetime. So as I head to Uganda this summer with my eyes wide open it is with a sense of energy/urgency my body has never felt before. My life is going in a direction I never imagined. Hell, I'm going to be one of those crazy people who abandons the world as we know it and starts growin' shit...oh boy.
