So.

I'm just saying this now.

But if I'm ever not an active listener for any of you, just reach through this screen and slap me around or something.

UHG!!!

It is SUCH a pet peeve!

I'm home.

Sleeping in my childhood room.

That now has all the trappings of a �guest room.'

AS we drove into town I spent long moments gazing at my sacred mountains and their sisters to the North.

They looked dry and worn out and some how faded from the too bright desert light, but still the very sight of them breathed a bit of life back into me that I'm not really sure I had realized was missing.

I've set my alarm for the dawn.

I know that the cool desert night will have revived them, and that I might even get to see them bathed in a cool coral light that these dusty evenings sometimes produce.

Mmm . . . So many wishes.
