Event Horizon

There and Back Again

I was away last week and took a break from blogging. It was not actually a spring break, as I was attending an academic conference, but it was fun and involved a bit of travel. I enjoy traveling, specifically that state of mind one gets in those in-between spaces, not at home and not yet at the destination. It has always been a special kind of experience for me, it allows me to see the world from a different perspective, to step out from the normal day-to-day routine and into a different world. Of course, travel and concepts of home have a different meaning for us military brats, but still, a journey can stir the soul. I was tempted to step into an Internet cafe and make a post from the road, but I didn't have time. At any rate, here's to the journey, and as that famous Hobbit said, "You never know what will happen when you step out onto the road."

Thanksgiving

I'm off for the holiday weekend. Happy Thanksgiving!
