Whatnot

yeah...you read it correctly. Can't really explain it. Especially because i couldn't tell you which home I miss...I certainly don't yearn for central IL...okay...maybe just the sight of snow, or black dirt, or flat roads that essentially run straight North/south or east/west. I don't really MISS that though. I certainly don't miss college. But maybe I miss my sarcastic friends...or my neighbors kids. Weird. I couldn't possibly miss MD. Heck, only lived there 18 months. But I do miss the folks at Milestone *$'s and Leo's gal-pals, sami and norah. Really weird. Yet normal. It's the 6 month willies, for lack of a better term. after being here 6 months things are starting to stick...roads, media, co-workers, people that could become my friends, everything I encounter daily. As it starts to stick, I recall all the stuff it's pushing out of the way. And part of me wants to reclaim it. Only, the truth is, it's not there to reclaim. It's all moved on, just as I have. This is good but sad. anyway, I'm a rambling sentimental fool.

Work is actually starting to be good. Rewarding. Challenging. Quality.

Leo asked me to sing him his special song tonight...so I did...and I thought about the Father singing me a special song and tucking me in.

"well, the sun is surely sinking down.
But the moon is slowly rising.
So this ol' world must still be spinning around.
And I still love you."
