Interim Update

I know I've written a few things down on paper that I need to transfer here to my blog, but I haven't because it's been a strange wild ride, what with the no internet, no computer situation.

I'm writing this while sitting in the common room of a hostel in Flagstaff, AZ. I drove from Amarillo here today, and the ride was gorgeous. As I hit AZ, I could see light filtering down amidst a faraway rainshower, and I felt like I was in God's country. I'm always in awe of the land when I drive through the southwest. I remember studying geology, and really not enjoying the subject (too much bleh, not enough action) but whenever I find myself looking at the big red srata in the land, I ponder how it got that way, and find myself interested all over again.

I also decided that practical people in Arizona must say, "Screw it; let's just get orange carpet." (Maybe thus the inspiration for the popularity of terra cotta tile?)

I spent time in OKC visiting with family, and had a blast. I really got to bond with my aunt while staying with her and truly enjoyed her company. Visits with family are food to my soul. (As are road trips, so I'm feeling downright gluttonous right now!)

My brain is weary, and I'm ready for bed... I gained 2 hours today, so I'm all messed up. It feels early, but I've been up for a while.
