It’s been some time since that last mile of our trip, but the memory of roads traveled, places explored, and people met has yet to fade. Whenever I get the chance, I retell those stories of the trip to curious listeners. It’s great to see their faces and hear their reactions as I get to relive those ‘glory days’ of the Fall of 2005.

Currently, I am living and working in Washington D.C. I like what I am doing and I am learning a great deal. It’s no roadtrip though. Nothing really is. However, if you can’t be travelling at your whim and have to settle in one place for a little bit, D.C. is a good place to be. A leaf in the wind has to fall down somewhere, I guess. Well, for however long it may be, I am enjoying this first chance at making a home away from home.

Whenever I get the opportunity, I try to take in the intricacies of our nation’s capital. I often walk along some State-named Avenue like Pennsylvania, Florida or Wisconsin, and think back to all the places we went to and all the experiences we had. That always brings a smile to my face and a lot of times a good chuckle, and for that I am forever grateful.

Sometime in the not too distant future, I look forward to catching another sunrise at Cadillac Mountain in Maine, and taking the first step into another adventure. The wind will pick up again. I am sure of that.

good joss

Oh yeah, I’m off to Alaska in in three weeks. That’ll make 50.
