Cincinnati

It was a beautiful day today in Charlotte but all I could think about was the other QC...Cincinnati. I miss my friends, hanging on The Hill, NsT, hoopin' with the fellas, or just laying in the grass in Mt. Storm trying to feel the world turn. I never said goodbye and that weighed heavy on me. I need to get back and tell my people how much I've missed them.

62 miles to the next rest stop

I knew it would be a while before I was able to post something again but I've had some time to take a breath and reflect on the last 18 months.

After a tumultuous year (2009) in Florida, I finally decided to let it go.  I thought I would be there for a good, long time but it wasn't meant to be due in-part to bad timing (a crappy economy) and my inability to assimilate into the culture.  Had it been one or the other I probably would have tried to persevere but I'm too restless to be complacent; I let too many good years go by in Ohio to make that same mistake again.

Earlier this year I made the move to North Carolina and it felt right.  It still does.  My experience has been positive and I'm having fun again.  All of a sudden each day is a blank canvas to fill which I haven't had in a while and I'm far more craftier than I used to be.

I'm growing comfortable in this leg of the trip.  Time to dig in and make good time.
