Like, OMG! I'm totally like, never coming home.
I've been travelling for four days and I've been up since five this morning trying to get back to Palo Alto in time for work.
The Liars, Ween, and The Flaming Lips . . . hands down one of the best shows I've seen, ever. At the beginning of the lips I underwent such sensory overload I had to sit down until my head stopped spinning. Ween? sigh . . . ween : )
Four or five hours of walking and hiking found me yesterday in a redwood grove on a peak in some mountain range. It was one of those prettiest moments of my life where I don't mind that I didn't have a camera, because I'll never forget it.
I wander far and I love not knowing where I'll sleep at night. Wherever I am, Sunday evening finds me preparing a family dinner with at least one familiar face. The kitchen is always busy with new friends helping each other cook supper and we sit down together to enjoy the meal and share two positive things from the previous week and two goals for the next. It's a rewarding experience I hope to bring to Oxford.
Full, a bit tipsy, and not knowing how I was going to get to work in the morning; I smiled and fell asleep in a strange bed somewhere in California.
