After several fun filled days in the Rocky Mountain region, STK, TLO, and I are packing our bags and heading back to the Midwest tomorrow AM. To say this has been a busy trip would be an understatement. Thankfully, the business of it all has been offset by the thrill of spending time with friends and family. We managed to see J & T (who just happened to be back visiting T's daughter), all our Goth friends (J, C, M, TLR [the newest gothling], S, K, K's new boi, G, M), STK's family, and my family. We also managed to hit most of our favorite restaurants, coffee houses, CD stores, and a couple of used bookstores. Tattoos were inked, V for Vendetta consumed, and two flavors of taffy, banana & black licorice, procured.* I managed to finish my chapter proposal and even graded a handful of papers. Alas, I have many, many papers to grade in the Element during our long drive back tomorrow. Sunday afternoon and evening have already been designated official catch-up-on-school/grading hours. That's the price for traveling, I suppose. I think it's a price well worth paying.
We've decided that we'll give the entire drive a shot--it's about 15 hours with all the stopping required by the dogs and TLO. Fortunately, I have relatives about 11 hours or so into the trip. If we're tired, we've made arrangements to crash for the night. So, I should be back to my regular sporadic posts early in the coming week.
*More proof that Natalie Portman can act and that George Lucas somehow managed to suck the acting life of her.

Actually, it is 16 hours. You lose an hour this weekend.
...another government plot to keep us tired
