Not all who wander are lost...

 
BACK IN THE SADDLE

Well, it's been a long, long time since I've written a thing here. Too long really. So much has gone on in my world in the past five months, that I'm not really gonna bore you with all the details.

A brief summary of the two main highlights, in order... I moved from Washington, D.C., to Portland, Oregon... got married. Oh yeah... all in a manner of about 14 days.

The move has been a good thing. I probably could have handled another summer in the District, but the Beltway mentality would have suffocated me by November 2. That being said, I still haven't let go of all the fire I have for what's going on there. It's just nice to be able to escape from it from time to time now. The actual journey across the country was wonderful too. I'll try to get to the details in a later post.

Marriage has been outstanding. Far better than the "Stressed-out-planning-a-wedding-and-planning-a cross-country-move-all-at-the-same-time" phase that dominated my June. The wedding and honeymoon actually couldn't have gone much better. I guess the Mrs. and I are just one of those lucky couples that has everything go right for them on their Big Day and on their honeymoon.

All these changes have given me a new perspective on many things. I intend to get to some of my observations in the coming days. But let's just take this one step at a time.
