The time to begin the journey home is upon me.
Two weeks is the perfect amount of time (rather "minimum") that should ever be considered for a true cathartic vacation. My life in Denver seems so far away, and at the same time, I don't consider any place home other than the road. I have a mild longing to return to Denver, but only to see Anthony and my friends again. What/what/why is home?
In 2 hours, Mary is going to drive me to Nashville, where I will do some shopping to prepare for the final trip of this vacation. A nice train ride is really 3 separate vacations in a row. One for the ride there, one while you are there, one for the ride back. So far my first two subvacations have been ... hmmm, word ... cleansing.
My route back will basically depend on what trains are easily catchable from Nashville. My first choice would be back through Chicago, since the weather down south here is pretty rough (hot) right now. I have a few different options once i get to chicago. But even just "go west" would work fine for the most part. [I need to get a new CCG made up at SOCX's. Had to ditch mine in Omaha.] My other options are Memphis to KC or Amarillo. Getting from Nashville to Denver seems decidedly easier than the other way around.
I have a decent amount of pictures and a bunch of audio recorded. Will re-write this whole blog after I piece it together back in the cool coziness of my home-in-progress.
cheers - I'll txt and/or post to here when I can!
