Tomorrow is our presentation, then I am almost free from any and all responsibility! In my whole life! after we turn in the paper, which only requires minimal work, it will be the first time in I don't know how many years when I will have no deadlines other than those which I place on myself. I will be able to wake up in the morning, do nothing all day, and never feel like I should be doing something else. I will be retired at 30! Interesting that I should retire only a few weeks after my dad. And once that responsibility-free month is over, I guess I have to start looking for a job or something...
But during that month, I will be enjoying sunsets like these every night. These photos were taken last Sunday night just as we were setting up camp. I was out looking for some firewood, when the setting sun peeked out from the clouds for just a few minutes. I suddenly saw something like you see in the first photo, but was without my camera. I thought to make a mad dash for the tent, but somehow I was not able to move so fast. There's something about that sunset that made me too calm to care. eventually though, I did make it back to the tent and got the camera to catch the very end of the show.
