Back in the Saddle Again....

Time changes little, regardless of geography.

I am home now after spending too many weeks away from the "real" world. It is nice to be away as much as it is nice to be home; sometimes a little more of one than the other.

I feel, at times, that these long trips of mine are designed less for my work efforts than my mental ones. It is as if I have six weeks to sort out things in my head; to focus on what is left behind after many weeks of a regular routine in my Netherlands life.

What I am left with is a sense of renewal and some trepidation. Returning to stacks of mail, problems to solve, some to create, and money to throw around seems to fill most of the few days back. It is ever so pleasant though to get the chance to escape it for at least one weekend before heading back into the fray. Now that Monday is upon me, I find that my time is spent unpacking and finding the energy to keep myself from bathing in gin and cigarettes.

I have returned a bit more determined to maintain my focus and motivation for all things good in my life. I am making plans for my coming holiday, which I will talk about more later.

Just wanted to let the internet mice know that I am back. I have given them a hiatus and have fed them their cheese. Time to get to work kids......
