chasing the sun...

so i'm heading west now. i will not spend a great deal of time lamenting that I have not written. in my defense, i will say that it is because i have been living in a fantasy world, enraptured by a woman. and i wouldn't trade a minute of it...

yes, there is a girl...

i drove across missiouri and kansas yesterday and the day before. it is a wasteland of nothingness out there. i had very little to keep me going, save for the promise of the cool crisp air of the mountain country and the northern states.

i came to an epiphany yesterday while driving. i am feeling the road tripping bug slowly being worked out of my system. alone on the road is losing its romanticism. i don't think that i'll back out alone. alone on the road of life is losing its romanticism as well.

i know. we'd never thought we'd see the day, but this 'confirmed bechelor' is tiring of his rambling ways.

i will be spending the next few days treking to southern oregon to meet up with the family for a week of camping. so freakin excited. after that, will return to the california north to work and road-detox.

the road, it would seem, has beaten me up a bit more than i thought it would.

perhaps i'm just feeling lost without her by my side...
