Holy Shitfuck

I bought a car.

More shortly. Most likely sometime in the next two weeks while I'm wasting away in some office in Elkridge making money to run away to Colorado.

PS--yes, took the job in Durango, though I use the words in loosly...headed back out west-ish mid-september, after killing an inordinate amount of time at home in Stepford with my post-op father and Honza the incredible exchange student. Who is actually quite cool. Boy child, not my father...

Onward

Peacing out of Wisconsin in a bit. Its been a very long hard summer. I'm glad I came, but this second year has challenged me in ways I never imagined. I'm exhausted, and the digestion of everything thats gone down will undoubtedly continue for at least a few more weeks.

Plan of action for the moment:
-2 days drive back to the padres in MD, with a brief stop over in Madison and maybe Chicago
-4 day drive to Tejas and kickin' it there for a coupla days helping a friend move
-hopefully temping or other such making money for the remaining 3-4 weeks of the summer in MD
-heading out to Colorado/Utah/Montana to start training mid-September
-hopefully getting a job outta training efforts, working in the mountain west for a while...

And there is the end of my nose.

A little bit of nostalgia and sadness to leave here are battling for brain space with my anger and frusteration at everything that happened this summer. I'm not quite sure which will win out.
