Day Nine

Action Item: Keep smiling. 

Do not travel to meet family without your spouse. You'll spend the whole trip talking about them and probably grossly misquoting their ambitions, job description, and current hair color. I feel like I'm in the middle of an interrogation where the same question is asked in various forms with relentless repetition over the course of a week. Bring it!

To get back in the groove of housekeeping prior to getting back to a home that just crossed the dreaded one-month barrier on the MLS service, I cleaned the kitchen this morning to satellite radio's version of college rock. It's pretty satisfying. My mother was proud of the work I did on the cutting board, stating that,"I don't think it has ever been washed like that before." It got me thinking, am I too thorough with my dishes? 

Today was another great day of connecting with old friends and acquaintances. My middle school band director's brother introduced himself to me at a bike race because he saw Austin all over my jersey and figured he'd make some great chit-chat. Totally random people, like a co-worker of my 4H advisor from 5th grade, said hello. Maybe a single man is just that pitiful that random strangers want to pump up my spirits? Thanks to all well wishers and folks that said hello.
