There is no such place as Home . . .

For certainly this place is not while H is not here with me. It took all I had plus a couple of beers to aim Konnyeji Wa south back from Philly yesterday morning. I knew this time last week leaving her and driving 4 hours to returning to our empty flat full of cat's vengeful handywork would be impossible; thanks mountainfreak for joining us and providing the impetous I needed to return to trafficland. Sorry if I wasn't much company for the long trip back . . .

Now, if I can only wrangle a bit of that same self-trickery to neutralize my serious de-motivation toward the job I was so rabid to curtail my Christmas visit to return for. I tried to muster another intensive cleaning jag but to no avail. I spent the evening iced and elevated after tweaking something with a subtle twist in the bum-knee.

Please give my Love and gratitude to J & K, and all the best for the coming new year.

your were no more or less company for a soul than i was. there wasn't much to say aside from how painful it was to leave such a place full of love as was julia's. i can't right off hand say i've had such a family oriented christmas EVER. so many of my childhood's were ruined by my father's tempermentalism and so many of my adulthood's haven't really qualified as family oriented...more the orphan style, really.

so don't sweat it. for as quiet as we both were on the way home, neither one of us would have made it if we hadn't collaborated in the first place. and it turned into one of the best of the 33 christmases i've experienced. and you're both welcome to share that sentiment with j&k if you speak to them before i do...

(ps, deviathan, if you have their address handy, i'd love to send them a thank you note without calling them to ask for the address...)
