Back from Mississippi, just in time for our own weather to be swelteringly oppressive. From all the talk I've heard in the past week this trip will either be the last for several months or the beginning of a long stint in the land time forgot. I used to think the southern accent was somewhat cute I've now come to recognize that depending upon where you are the accent can be entirely different than elsewhere. In Mississippi the accent seems to fit the look, which I find entirely unattractive. Slow, dull and some what dim witted. The greater majority look like a cross between a drunk, albeit 8AM, and a downs syndrome kid. Now I will acknowledge that I am completely stereotyping right now but one that is my prerogative and two as you read you'll notice I say seemed and greater majority if you feel the above doesn't apply to you don't take umbrage, just simply decide to be in the 98th percentile.

It could too be a simple survival instinct that I do not find the boys down there attractive, but surprisingly I think I found a second family member on this last trip. Aside from the fact she is a former Marine and negating the utter lack of femininity due to the plant environment she referred to her relationship in vague generalities and third person gender neutralities. As someone who has been there I have to tell you this is a difficult thing to maneuver. Of course I wasn't about to call her out but still I think we managed to communicate.

OK I'm rambling

'til next

Hi Hello

I'd almost forgotten. Actually I had.

The night of my last post before this something happened. It has taken some time to get right by it. Three months later I can still recognize the after effects and upon reflection think this may be something that I take with me through the rest of my life. Even today I found myself with thoughts that would not have been a part of me before.

I will be fine that I know but things are different. I've had a fair number of adventure and travels since we last met. I've done a lot for me (who else?!?) and a lot of nothing at the same time.

There have been plenty of things that I've thought I should opine over and share with ya'll. I've also thought about dropping the blog all together. I've certainly not done much to ensure regular readership, let alone anything grander. I may never... then again.

I should share some of my pics from my recent trip to San Francisco. We'll see.

Suffice to say I'm still around. Same old me, with just a bit more time to reflect.

'til next time...
