Looking forward to getting on the road back to the Midwest. A girl, mom + dad, fall foliage and ‘paper folded in half and stapled’ top the list in my thinker. Been a wild summer. 10 weeks down, and a couple more to go. Shit’s been smooth, pretty much.

Got Big League’d* a couple times, the worse for the wear. No need, no need.

Just trying to do my work, and get it all done. Simple pursuits, long hours, late nights, frantic correspondence, proud solutions, etc.

Looking forward to smooth sailing on the way home.
