The ex-pat returns...
"I never met a Kentuckian who wasn't coming home."--A.B. "Happy" Chandler
It is indescribably good to be back in Louisville. It's probably good that I'm only here for 10 days; any longer, and I might start entertaining even more thoughts of staying. The pull is undeniable, and like gravity, grows stronger with proximity.
Three days at home have erased all the misery of the last six months; my heart aches at the thought of going back. It's not just work... it's also the feeling of being among strangers, of being so far away from where I belong. Should I come back? How would I come back? What would I do?
Whatever, though; those are thoughts for another day. Today it's domesticity and family and Christmas Eve. All is well, and all difficult decisions can wait until Tuesday, at the least.
Merry Christmas to all...
