Almost Home!

June got a message today that we can move back into our little house on the beach as early as TOMORROW NIGHT!! That means that Sunday evening I'll be grilling up food with watery horizon framing up the background of our lives getting back to normal.

Pause for a breath and some dramatic effect.

The timing couldn't be better 'cause Brooklyn to the 'Burg has practically killed us. The space that occupies that place between my ears has been filled with new and fresh/ fun ideas and the stifling air of my hometown has suffocated much of it. Everything feels a little bit out of whack and home sweet home will be a nice cure for the emotional flu-like symptoms of unsolicited nostalgia in your old stomping grounds. It hasn't been all that fun.

It has been awesome to see Brad and Header and the kids so much...and Grandma's been right around the corner...and of course having an outdoor lacrosse pad to mess around on in the evenings has been awesome (I did, however, forget that I had certain muscles in both my back and shoulders that haven't been used much on the last decade)...so we've managed to cultivate quite a few smiles since we've been back. It's not the same town I remember though. I suppose it never is.

Blah blah blah...heading home.

Sigh.
