In the AM
Rochetser, NY I type this with a fuzzy head and a grumbling stomach. It’s 8:30 AM and a busy day lies in waiting. My sister arrives back in town today from her cruise with her boyfriend and his family. My brother, his wife, and two kids arrive today too. That brings excitement and anticipation, but it also brings stress around the house. Wash the sheets, clean up my room which now becomes Season and the baby’s, paint the trim on the house, finish the walking path, and more of that stuff. This is an accelerated, last minute, honey do list. My mom just yelled up to me that I need to clean...

Rochester, NY After a few days of pondering, I’m back at it full force. Last night was the topper. I got a call earlier in the week from a friend of mine from high school. He and I go back. He and I (and my parents) road tripped it to NC to look at schools. We were thinking about going somewhere together. That didn’t work out. I don’t think he wanted to head to Little Rock. But he called and asked if I wanted to play golf. Of course I did. It was he and I, another guy from my high school, and 5 others from our rival high school, along with another guy who I’d heard of...

Rochester, NY I wrote a few days ago about having second thoughts. This is true. It wears on you after a while.

Then on both Friday and Saturday nights, my dad asked if I’d like to go to dinner with them and their friends. The first thoughts were not what do I have planned. They were “how much does it cost? who is paying? is dad paying for me?” And that sucks. I am 29. I don’t want to have to rely on my...

Rochester, NY I left on this journey April 6. I thought about it for months prior. It seemed like the right thing for me to do. The first leg of the journey, the southeast, went better than I could have imagined. Everything fell into place for me. There was not a day that went by where I asked if what I was doing was right. The past few days have been filled with some second guessing. It’s been great to be home and hear positive feedback from people. But now the reality of things are beginning to settle in. Maybe it was going to Vegas and giving them some money. Or maybe it was going to...
