confession

i have something to confess, i'm still in grand rapids. my exit did not fall into the ride into the sunset category i had planned. my car has been beset with minor problems the past week and spent a day in the shop getting things repaired. by the time the wednesday repairs were completed it was already apparent it made little sense to go on two cross country jaunts where the midwest and west meet and later bleeding into the south. so meh. the extra time has granted me perspective on leaving, last week was crammed full of work, packing and seeing friends. with the onset of unemployment life has suddenly become rather mundane and relaxing. this is my summer vacation, what glory it is.

i leave next saturday for tennessee. anticipation has been growning in the pit of my stomach from quite some time.
