Its been a long drive....I left Nashville at 8:15 am and have driven west. I'm currently in a "Panera" in St. Louis; however, in St. Louis, Panera isn't called "Panera", its the St. Louis Bread Company...but same thing...
One thing I learned about being on the road for a while is you start to think about things. This weekend, I felt homesick - but then - I thought about where exactly was my home? When growing up - you become rooted to your "house" - but then you go to college - move around, and become less attached - you work some - you move 5 times in 2 years....You really smear the concept of a physical home...so I felt homesick - but where is home?
Around 12noon - I got tired - so I stopped at a rest area somewhere around the IL/MO border...I took a 30 minute power nap - which ended abruptly - I musta had a weird dream and woke up really fast, though I felt revitalized - I did infact have a dream, so maybe I made it into REM?
I have a pretty long haul to Vedauwoo - but I'm going to make it as far as I can today - at least Kansas city - which is about 4 hours from here - and its like 330....I'm hoping to boulder at Vedauwoo Weds and Thurs - and maybe Friday morning - then finish the 3 hour drive to SLC (or maybe its more - not sure...)
