return


.


No matter how good the home life, leaving for vacation always feels remedial and necessary. No matter how good the vacation, coming home always feels like a welcome hug. Before I left for my two week adventure, I was frantic, nervous, and overexposed to the trials of thinking outside a very tiny box. But I am happy to say I am no longer so uncomfortable in my own diplomatic, overanalytical skin. Elusive pause button? I found you, you wandering snob. And now that I've found you, I feel like you're mine; like I own you, and get to keep you as a shield over my daily routine.

I like vacations.

I wondered where you were after the Kensington post. Of course, I knew where you were the day after Kensington, but after seeing me, I couldn't find you. But here you are again. And I see you've been a busy little poster -- 3 to catch up on!
