Around 6pm EDT, the intrepid journey reached its conclusion for me (Kirk still had to hoof it to VA). I walked in to the sweet greeting of the bookends I ordered. Bomaniland is finally beginning to look like someone lives here. Before, it just looked like an impersonal entertainment and sports complex. Now, it’s beginning to look charming. Even found some pictures that I can put in frames that will show off some of my friends. Found a great one of Jon I may have to get enlarged. Five years and change, and I still miss the lil’ fella. Least I can do is put up a picture, yanno?
But sadly, the Bomobile is pretty much out of commission. Brakes have totally betrayed me, so I’m about to be trapped in the house for an indefinite amount of time. That could mean lots of updates until I get it back. Wanted to go get some plants, but that just ain’t an option right now. Boo!
But the drive was cool enough. Got to hang out with the incredible Ms. Duell in Nashville. That’s always exquisite, even if it only happens once every three years or so. I messed up and forgot to save Big Bryan’s number, so I wasn’t able to catch up with him. That’s my bad.
But the most amazing thing about the trip were the few of you that offered food and drinks to Kirk and I on the trip after seeing that our route would pass through those folks’ cities. I really feel a bit of a personal attachment to those of you that read and comment, and it felt good to see that was reciprocated.
One thing I hope this site does is tear down the wall between writers and readers. I don’t just write to put ideas out there. I write to start dialogue, and I’m glad that some of you appreciate that and enjoy rappin with me through various media. The idea that someone I don’t know would even want to take me and my friend out for a drink is overwhelming to me, and I can’t say how much I appreciate it. That’s the kind of stuff that makes me love my job.
Again, thank you. Talk to you soon.
