We’re back…

Internet access was spotty during the trip so shortly after that post about the truck stop I just said flarg-it and pretty much kept my hands off my laptop*…

*Except for sporadically checking email and trying to field any of the 30+ messages from work requesting this that or the other thing….

This either means the day job either completely disregards the concept of “vacation”, (or), I’m so valuable that they couldn’t be without me for nine days, (or) – I’m a complete assface for saying “I’ll be reachable via my email and cell in case of emergencies”… It’s really not a big deal – my primary employment is a finely balanced arrangement of mutual adoration and abuse. don’t think it could work any other way…. and regardless:

It’s nice to be home *and* back to work.

We put over 3000 miles on the car… (on about only $200 in fuel for fellow petrogeeks out there). During those miles… Nobody cracked a book..

Save two Eddie Izzard CDs, most of our idle moments were spent either in deep conversation or quiet introspection.

American Indians climb into sweat tents to get their personal shit together.

We crawled into a volkswagen and drove to Maine.

There are pictures and stories to share… I’ll try to get all that caught up this chicken.
