Home. A good place to be. Got back from TX on Friday night and have only briefly left the house since. It was nice to not feel as though I had to get a lot done before my next trip. I've only been on two trips, but they've been stressful in the sense that a)I don't have Michelle (who is my favorite) with me; b)I've been in seminar/conference settings - long hours and information overload; c)On both trips, I shared hotel rooms with two other guys, which is fine, but no alone time wears on me; d)I lack any hint of routine that would help ground me. As I was sitting in the Denver airport on a two hour layover Friday, I looked around at all the business travelers who live life this way, I just shook my head in disbelief. Heck, I don't even have kids!
So now that I'm home, and have no plans for additional travel, I'm groovin' on figuring out which end is up. Maybe I can actually act on some of the information that's been pumped into my brain.
And then there's the future. Michelle and I have some interesting questions to consider in the weeks to come. Potentially life changers. And for all the family and friends who wish we'd finally get around to having children, no, that's not what I'm referring to. I'll talk about what it is, or isn't, in due time.
