Thanks for your patience, everyone! We had a really good road trip and saw a part of the country I’d never really seen before. After years of being stuck in the same place, watching cities that I loved getting turned into shells of their former selves, to finally go somewhere that seemed to have missed out on the memo that we were supposed to make everything worse, it was like breathing fresh air again. For that matter, I’ve been plagued with a wracking cough ever since we came back to live in Texas, and one day on the trip, while I was admiring the beauty of the Ozarks, my daughter mentioned aloud, “I don’t think Dad has coughed since we left Texas,” and I realized she was right… Of course, I’m back to hacking and wheezing again now that I’m back in the office, but… possible big move coming up in the future maybe…
