Highway to…
I have passed another mile marker on the roadway to my ultimate fate and it feels mostly good to still be here amongst you. Here's to another year fraught with adventure and challenges most perilous!
I would like to thank Trin for the birthday post that would have been a surprise had she been able to withstand the temptation of telling me as I traveled back to Dallas from the lands of my ancestors. A hearty exultation of appreciation to those of you who left me little messages too, it was appreciated on a high level.
I took an extra day off, thus making the weekend extra long, and that would seem to have been a wise decision on my part. I missed traffic on my way down, a special boon to those of us who know how hellish traveling on I-35 has become. Indeed, I took an alternate route through Corsicana on the return trip just to make sure I wouldn't have to deal with any of the mischief that thoroughfare might spring on me.
The Holiday was spent with the family and while it was not exciting it was very relaxed and laid back. It was nice to sit and do absolutely nothing for a few days, no phone or internet. There was much sitting outside and watching the world pass by, enjoying time with family and soaking up that rural Central Texas essence all under a very traditional Texas Summer Sun.
As nice as it was, it is good to be back home.
