    My friend will be summiting Everest on Thursday!!

    I've been keeping up with the updates on my friend Mike Kodas and the Connecticut Everest Team. His wife, Carolyn, who has been writing the updates said that they will be reaching the top sometime Thursday!!

    Say prayers, as this step is the most risky.

    Dan's climbed Mount Everest before a few years ago and said it was a lot of fun. I am sure they are having a blast! I hope to do it someday, once I am in shape, hehe.

    I also heard how busy Everest is these days. I still cannot understand how someone can accomplish it! I wish good luck as it is always very very difficult.

    If you ever read "Into Thin Ice", you might rethink an Everest expedition. I guess it all depends on the weather conditions when you plan to do it. I admire anyone that tries, though, and ever since seeing "Everest" at the IMAX theater, I have been so interested in knowing about it as much as possible.

    Well, it seems a storm is due on the summit sometime Thursday, so that's why they want to get there in the next 2 days.

    I'm worried . But I know that Mike is more than qualified to reach the top!
