  1. About to Go Home

    It is silly. I love to travel. I enjoy staying in hotels. I love the city of Boston. Why then did spending three nights in a hotel in Boston start to bum me out? It was nice. It was fun. It was a goofy little excursion away from the norm.

    Why then, with all the things that I enjoyed about the entire situation, does the idea of being able to go home after work tonight fill me up with happiness? My wife and I will be home together. We’ll eat dinner together at home. We’ll sack out on the couch after dinner and watch TV in our living room at home. We’ll sleep in our own bed tonight. We’ll wake up at home tomorrow and be back on our regular, normal daily routine.

    I love to travel. I love staying in hotels. I love being in the city of Boston. I guess I just love being at home with Jen more. When you look at it that way, it’s not even a little bit surprising.

    Also, there are cats at home when there were no cats in the hotel. That’s gotta count for something too, right?

  3. Love is such a powerful force.
    It's there for everyone to embrace -
    that kind of unconditional love for all of human kind.
    That is the kind of love that impels people to go into
    the community and try to change conditions for others,
    to take risks for what they believe in.
