New audio update from TA on Everest.

This is the text of TA’s audio message:

Hi this is TA calling in from Everest base camp where our motto is “life is short, things change”.  Looks like the bad weather that was expected has passed through, so the folks on team 2 are heading up in the morning.  I’m having one of those Everest mental days as I’m trying to figure out if I will go up with them, I’m still a hormonal mess, and not feeling terribly well from this 3rd bladder infection, but I may try to make a go of it anyway, we will see what happens.  I’ve been vacillating all day even though my slogan for the day is don’t vacillate.  I have been talking to friends and trying to get a little clarity and of course clarity isn’t something that comes easily at 5300m above sea level.  So that is where I’m at, I am going to keep you all in suspense, you will have to tune in tomorrow morning to see “As Everest Turns For Me”.  As always your thoughts and prayers are appreciated if I do decided to venture into the ice fall, but I will let you guys know either way, go or no go.  But I am all packed and have been trying to eat well today even though my appetite has gone to the dogs.  However, this is a quintessential Everest moment, this is what it all comes down to on Everest, and right now I am trying to figure out why I wanted to climb this thing, and whether it is worth the risks to go stand on that piece of topography, dreams change and I am sorting through all that.  That’s me for now, have a happy Wednesday and I will talk to you tomorrow, thanks, bye.
