This little corner of my website is where I collect things from the everyday goings-on in my life. It’s a chronicle, exhibit, and junk-drawer all at once. I have not had a social media profile in quite a few years now, so this part of my website fills a similiar purpose to what those places did for me in years past.

This airport is such a great one to leave from. I was through security in less than three minutes.

There’s a franticness to leaving home this time that usually isn’t present for me when I travel. There has got to be something that I’m forgetting.

The house is starting to fill up with small piles of things to pack… cords, books, gifts, clothes, etc. Travel is looming, and I am excited.

A long stretch of road will teach you more about yourself than a hundred years of quiet introspection.
