In slightly over six hours, Jory and I will engage the full power of our 737's jet engines and point the rudder towards the rising sun. I have just gotten off work and am in the final throes of wrestling various "necessities" into my green backpack. In another hour or two I'll be ready for a brilliant moment of sleep before an even more brilliant awakening: the awakening into the first day of our adventure to Europe!
A list of things you may or may not be able to expect out of this blog:
1. Semi-consistent updates ("semi-consistent" is as of yet undefined)
2. Photographs
3. Stories fictional and non-fictional
4. Asides
5. Shout outs (for example: What's up Liz! And "Joe" too of course!)
6. Ruminations
For work tonight I was in Port Gamble as the sun went down over a vast, meandering stretch of the Puget Sound. Lightning cracked above our heads and fuschia red spread further and further up and around the sky. The scope of the sky and the water below us was beautiful; I'm going to miss Washington!
Soon we will land in Barcelona at 8 am local time, ready to walk through the narrow streets as the sun glints off windows and buildings with a delicious bakery in mind. But for now it is, as a great human once wrote, "Goodnight stars, goodnight air, goodnight noises everywhere."
