And thus another February trip to Europe is booked.

Departure on the 14th echoing the classic trek with BNS of 2002 (can it have been 9 full years?), with the promise of witnessing live the best football on the planet, scheduled visits to European islands on opposite ends of the continent, and the possibility of key interviews. It seems a turning point of a trip, now that the new year has arrived with its openings. Nothing to suggest any changes to the timeline that jumped out as an epiphany on the ocean-front wanderings last weekend. Just keep the momentum moving forward.

An additional thought to note for this Sunday, as you contemplate another run on the treadmill and the difficulties in getting focused to do the work in front of you. On Politics and Boredom, by Sam Rocha: "What is boredom but loneliness, alienation, lovelessness, and the desire for something to occupy the time in a way that puts those stark realities at a distance?" As one of the commentators noted, yep this post is true. Amazing how so many strangers can share your exact same thoughts, at times.
