Tomorrow, we get to experience a “ripple”.
It's been a while, but I think I've written in here before about the concept of a “ripple”. It's what happens when do you something, and some time in the future something entirely different comes from that occurrence, much like what happens when you throw a stone into a pond, and the ripple moves a leaf sitting on the water feet away from it.
Except, you know, in real life.
Loraine's World War II research and my history work has given us so many different “ripples” in the past two decades that we've lost track of all of them. We really appreciate the ripples, and each and every time one of them reaches our “shore” we're grateful that it made it to us.
Another one of those “ripples” will be explored tomorrow, when we're both taking the day off to head out to Lake Michigamme to visit the daughter of one of the guys Loraine's researched. We actually met her fifteen or so years ago, but she texted Loraine out of the blue a few weeks ago and asked if we'd be interested in spending the day at her camp.
And since the weather's supposed to be nice that day...why not, right?
So when you come back here tomorrow and wonder why there's nothing new, that's why. I won't be working. Instead, I'll be taking advantage of one of the great things about dealing with people, the past, and their reactions to what we find.
The ripples.
Back, though, on Friday!
