Today's the day we have been waiting for so long. We should be about ready for Uncle Don to pick us up to take us to the airport. The key word is 'should'. Instead of driving to the airport, I am sitting in my favorite chair, drinking a latte and eating my toast that isn't buttered all the way to the edges. It's 4:30 am.

The two constants here, for me, in Tucson thus far: Doug and sunsets. And the one variable: Monsoons. Awesome. Ps - pictures of Doug and sunsets are not uploading. Working on it. ... read more

So, my room is near completion. I'm having trouble with the posters and pictures staying on the wall. I'll figure that out soon-ish, though. What do you think?... read more
