I don’t even know where to start with the America trip. Let me say I am glad I went and I enjoyed seeing everyone I was able to see. I wish I’d been able to do and see more. Still, many of the conversations I had were with friends I rarely see, or haven’t seen in years, so much of it all was marked by the intensity forged by known deadlines and distance…and thus not really what I am at liberty to divulge…or wouldn’t mean a damned thing to you if I did. It was lovely, and yet there were low moments I will probably not write publicly about for years to come (although, rest assured, if you were part of my low, you already know!)….but it was all worth it.

 

I did get my license renewed within 24 hours of landing and from that point on I socially saw at least 2-3 different people/groups a day and returned with an extra 35 pounds of stuff. I was unable to make it to Chicago, but I did make it out to Milwaukee for a few hours and to…Waukeegan,IL.

 

I’ll also state that I am officially in Japan, rested, and back to work.
