They've left a mark
The people of Sidney, NE have left a mark in my heart. They are some of the most kind and nicest people I've ever met. They went out of their way to make myself and my co-worker feel at home, like one of the family. In the business that we're in you don't always get that. It's so heartwarming.
We left on a bittersweet note. We don't know if we'll be traveling back out there to see them. We're not sure if we'll ever see them face to face again. Google Hangouts doesn't count. It's not the right kind of interaction.
I'm so glad to be working with them on this project. I'm so glad they came into my life and that they appreciate my help. I'll do whatever it takes to not let them down. It'd be kicking myself in the ass if I did.
The weather was perfect. We hung out with them every night after work and spent 2 nights in the best bar in Sidney. The trip went really well. We accomplished what we set out to do and now I'm back home again.
Of course that means I'm exhausted as well. Traveling always screws with me. I went to bed around 10pm local and didn't get out of bed officially until 9:30am. It's going to be a few days until I'm back on track.
I finished The Maze Runner while I was gone. It was a decent book. It read fast and action paced like a movie... which I guess is one of the reasons why it will be coming out as a movie later this year. At least I can say that I've read the book before the movie comes out. I'm not certain why that's something I feel I need to accomplish, but I did. We'll see where that series goes.
I've also been on a Batman kick lately. I'm also currently reading a novelization of the comics - particularly the arc that contains Bane. It's one of the most fantastic pieces I've read in a while. It's just a shame that there aren't more Batman or other super hero related novels out there. But I guess that's where comic books have their home. It might just be too much of an investment for some readers.
The rest of this weekend will be spent trying to get things back in order. It won't be long until I head down to GA at the end of the month to watch my brother graduate from the police academy. I think I've got this travel thing down pat by this point. Here's hoping that it's smooth sailing as I won't have to bring my work laptop with me. And here's also hoping that my photography itch picks up as well (time to get new batteries and a camera bag... heh).
