Hey great meeting ya too Chris...now when are ya coming EAST ????
Zeee

Hmm. When am I coming East? Probably not for a while. Realized lately that I'm thoroughly a Western-person at heart. Yes, my time in Oklahoma and Kansas was fine although the weather just about killed me. I visited my brother and his family in Ohio in August and he even invited me to stay there, park my rig by their barn. But, each time my cell phone time changed from Central, then to Mountain, and finally to Pacific time this past week, I felt myself relaxing more and more. But, who knows? A friend invited me to cover the Natchez Trace trail with her sometime when we get together again, and I would really like to explore all those wonderful historical areas on the east coast. But, right now I'm pretty tired of driving and need to hole up out here in the desert for, say, at least a week. Would love to meet all of you back there and will most likely do it--eventually.

Thank you all for the kind support. It's kind of a rough time right now, but I'm realizing that the relationship was only on his terms, and you're absolutely right: I don't need him, or that.
