Hello, Friends!

Thursday of this week I started a journey that won't be over for a total of very nearly three weeks. Generally I don't mind travel but when I'm on the road for too many hours along my brain inevitably turns to friends and then to people I've lost touch with. Am I the only one that catalogs those? I kind of run over the people in my life in the last, say, 10 years and wonder where the friendships fell off and I wonder how to rekindle them. Often there's not much I can do about the situation from distance or lack of contact information. Well, before Facebook anyway. But even with social networking sites the attempt to reconnect rings hollow and typical. I suppose that with a finite number of relationships my brain and clock are capable of handling, this is a good thing. I just can't help but missing those who have gone.

On a happier note, I've been staying with Tristin, Ben & Mason in Boise for the last three nights and, I must say, it's not a bad town! It's surely one of the areas I'm thinking about when my degree is finished and people want to hire me again.

I think I mentioned that I had a stray/foster dog traveling with me for the beginning of this trip? If not, run over to stephandboo.blogspot.bom to check out that story. Maybe that post will be more interesting and less 'I ran around too long with Mason and then was too hyper to sleep'.
