It amazes me...

"If you ever utter the words 'is that a shark?' odds are, I'm not gonna be there."

The amount of fun I've had in the last few days should have been illegal.

It really amazes me that the more time I spend away from home, the less I miss it. Maybe it's the ridiculously intelligent folk I visit, maybe it's the immeasurable amount of side splitting laughter, but as the trip winds down - I find it to be bitter sweet. Sure I miss my people and pickled corn, but I can't help thinking I could be just as happy elsewhere. Of course, this will change as soon as I step foot back in Ballard and stomp around my usual path but for the present moment, these thoughts take flight in my head like the plane I wait to board.

I consider myself the luckiest of individuals. To be surround by such remarkable people so far from my normal day to day experience and still feel right at home, is a happy spot to be in.

I felt a shift this time. It started sometime on Sunday. Its hard to describe, but something is morphing and brewing up to the surface of my core.

Change is good. Life is fleeting. Embrace the insanity.

In the great inspiring words of Minda, "Turn off your phone and be where your feet are."

With that, I'd like to thank one of my dearest friends for a very memorable trip of amazing proportions. May our next adventure bring us as much hilarity...
