Jeremiah's Dilemma

Every now and then things can roll pretty well in life...sometimes to the point where it can be a problem. This is Jeremiah's predicament. Around October last year is when we took up Ajay's offer to take a once in a lifetime trek to the top of Kilimanjaro and safari. Around that same time, Jeremiah's job with the Department of Justice sent him down to Louisiana to participate in trying to jumpstart the criminal justice system which had taken a hit along with everything else in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. It seems this work had no real job description to start with, and no definite ending point. Nonetheless, it has served as a very unique opportunity for Jeremiah to get involved in this process from the ground up. It also offers potential long term career opportunities doing something which he is currently enjoying every minute of. The problem that has arisen is that things have evolved where the next month or so may be very critical in deciding where this work is heading as well as his role in the future of this project. He's torn between taking time off to climb Kilimanjaro, at a time when this may hamper his ultimate role in his potential current dream job, versus giving up the chance to climb Kili, at least for the time being, to try to solidify his role in the rebuilding of the LA criminal justice system.

I'm sure this is an over-simplification of the issues at hand. Nonetheless, there is a possibility that he could ultimately have his cake and eat it, too. The next couple of weeks will tell. We are obviously all hoping that he will make the trip... but we also know that he needs to make his decision based on what is best for him.

Time will tell... we're hoping for the best
