In the end I had to buy a new computer, which itself is not without setup delays.
I need a couple of days to get caught up. Then you will have a reading extravaganza of meals, planes, swamps, snakes, horrible driving, very different hotels, and the exit wait from one mall parking lot that takes me longer than my usual rush hour commute.
And maybe, poignant moments involving a 38 year old dream realized, completed, and some hopeful new beginnings that inevitably follow.
Thanks for hanging in.
