16
I have 16 glorious days off from work.
I just went through every last travel folder I feel like I've ever made, but I know somehow I have missed a few. I've picked some of my favorite photos of my past trips (some photos remain unseen, some I shouldn't show you- some I have). But I do this in some sort of cathartic way to prepare for my next trip in just a few days.
I've had the pleasure and adventure of traveling with some of the closest people to my heart over the years. I always have an insatiable desire to travel. And this time I crave the trees and vast forests. No empty oceans here. Soon, though I know I will want something more exotic and perhaps frightening than what I've ever experienced before now.
I'm trying not to have very many expectations for this upcoming trip, but the truth is I have many. Don't we all really? have expectations....about everything. I think that is the honest truth.
"Constantly stimulated, the eye is our most faithful companion: allowing our imagination to get carried away, it constantly reinvents past experiences to firmly anchor them in the present. The imagination embellishes an object by surrounding it, and, so to say, by populating it with all the precious memories that it evokes in us and all the images about which it causes us instinctively to think. An incredible, animated adventure continues to live in us like so many kamis, little Japanese spirits that inhibit nature and endlessly multiply human emotions. After all, you need to be a bit possessed, do you not, to journey to the ends of the earth, finding nourishment in the sole idea of voyage?"

thing
today I woke up
with one extra hour of sleep
too many
and a throbbing headache
in my right temple
with waves of nausea
it must have been that
one extra hour
of REM sleep
of watching after baby polar bears
I saw a man
both coming and going
I was coming then going
and he was coming, then going
with holes in his knees
and rapid eyes
left then right
schizophrenia is a terrible thing
thing?
with one extra hour of sleep
too many
and a throbbing headache
in my right temple
with waves of nausea
it must have been that
one extra hour
of REM sleep
of watching after baby polar bears
I saw a man
both coming and going
I was coming then going
and he was coming, then going
with holes in his knees
and rapid eyes
left then right
schizophrenia is a terrible thing
thing?

Game Night is coming...
It's been way too long since our last "Game Night." Game night is more than you would think. It's not centered around sports...no it's all about board games! We had our first one earlier this year and it was such a blast. I've been meaning to have another one sooner, but haven't got around to it yet.
I think the next one should be.....Friday, October 19th @ 07:00pm!
Here are some festive photos from the last Game Night!

It's Fall time!
The weather is great this time of year. Yesterday we enjoyed the breeze at Memorial Park and the pumpkins at Whole Foods!
Happy October!
