[nagdu] GDB Evaluation Today

Wed Jun 4 15:24:00 UTC 2014

Have you had mobility training, or can you get it? If you’ve had it and you’re just out of practice, then I recommend practicing as much as you can. It’s not that hard once you get it. I practiced my route a bunch of times before they came. If not then you should get some mobility training.

That went very well. Then on the way back from there we did the Juno walk. I just loved it. We went so fast and it was comfortable. I got the hang of it before we got home. He did the same thing with Christine afterwards obviously. That’s really all it was.
