phoenix (now pronounced fa-ho-nix)....

roads and homes...



hard to say what i'm feeling... hard to express my mood. is tired a mood? they say the road to hell is paved with good intentions and i have a car full of stuff and good intentions ready to leave in the morning. the disconnect from my friends and family feels palpable. i suppose it's the mode i get into each time i leave somewhere. i'm not sure if it's an official known fact but... i leave well. i'm good at leaving. i'm great at departures. i guess i've done it so many times in my life that it's second nature to pull everything into my head for processing later.there are flutters of nervousness in my stomach. i'm not really sure what that is all about except the obvious. brakes, what it will be like on the other side, how the camping will be and if it will all go smoothly. perhaps there isn't much to say beyond these few lines.

i'm sure everyone knows the drill... i'll see you on the other side... the west coast as it were... i'll try to give a call when i have nothing but road in front of me and sun shining. i'll try to take pictures of myself, oddities and trees. i'll journal the old fashioned way for the next few days if i can't blog here and post whatever i come up with when i get to shannon's house.

One time, when I was driving cross-country to California, a tractor trailer in front of me lost its spare tire and almost came crashing through my windshield.

My insanely good driving skills are the reason why I'm still here in one piece. The speed probably helped too.

I love you, Lexxy. Drive safe, be safe, and think of things to tell me when you get where you're going. I'll be anxiously awaiting your report.

Roo.
