Life is not about finding yourself, but about creating yourself.

One of the really tremendously great things about being out here with the fam are the convos we’re having. Not the kind you might be thinking of. Nothing of a serious emotional nature. Oh no. But serious nonetheless. For example, tonight our convo took a couple twists and turns and ended up with my dad declaring that the way to solve the majority of the problems in this country would be to legalize drugs. All of them. And his arguments weren't half-bad. I told him I didn’t think he’d win with a pro-crack platform. (Not that I think he was saying he’s pro-crack, but that’s how the media will twist it. ha ha ha.) Maybe you have to know Al Sykes to know how hilarious and serious this was.

Okay, so yes, there’s more going on around here. There’s the near completion of the quilt. There’s the movement from Sudoku for Dummies to Black Belt Sudoku. There’s the continued watching of the awesome Tour de France. (Floyd’s in yellow!) There’s plenty of Food Network. And there’s some pretty serious researching and planning about the next phase of my life. (The whole reason I took this sabbatical, I have to remind myself.) But I’m sleepy (no coffee today) so I’ll promise to catch y’all up tomorrow. Or the next day.
