You should see Dick Proeneke's story. I've seen it on VHS. He went to Alaska at age 59 and built a cabin and lived there for years. He built everything himself, including the handles for his tools, which he brought without handles.

I can only marvel at the energy and creativity of the man. Here's where you can get the program. It appeared on PBS some time ago. dickproenneke.com

Would you let your hair grow long and stop taking baths?

Would you welcome all the little critters into your one room cabin for companionship?

Would you sit Zen style for hours while you contemplate the great thoughts of AS?

Would you forgo forever the White Sox scores?

These are all things you must consider before you depart the windy city for a life of cracking your knuckles and trying different air wick scents..
