Well, I am in California, and it feels good, weird, bad, happy, sad, and all that. There was a strange wave of emotions that errupted upon arrival. After three days and 1400mi in the car with my dad, getting home was the awakening that obligations were to be met. I almost felt like a delayed culture shock set in. The drive from Mexico to Austin was this seemless move, and I was still exploring and anonymous. Suddenly being thrust back into the familiar, made me realize that a trip had concluded, and I was flooded with emotions. None the less, I am getting back into the mix of things, and life is pushing along. I have plans to see friends from various phases of life, I am spending family time with the folks, which is cool, because I have not seen them in awhile. My dad has a new place, which is quite nice, and his life is evoloving out there. We did some fishing, and BBQing and some TV watching. I am sure my mom and I have some hiking in the works, and so on.
I am trying to just relax and enjoy the time that I have here, but there is still a bit of unrest--so many things to do, and people to see, and words and words and words. I have chunked out two months of time for this California hiatus, but I will just have to see how it all shakes out. Right now, I am feeling as if two months of floating might be two much, and perhaps a return date to Austin may need to occur in mid September--who knows, who knows.
This rant is more of just a personal poop of thoughts, and a commitment to maintain the blog. No pictures and links this time, just some sort of musing inspired ramble. All and all, life is a journey, and I am pushing myself to hold on to the present as best I can.
