Another Friday...

2 weeks now since the Antarctica news was dropped, the initial awkwardness fading quickly into discussions on how life is short.  Flights booked and plans made for the Feb 21 departure - so near and yet still a-ways off.  Need to think about what will happen post that trip though, and on lazy nights like this stuck in at the condo, the idea of starting the MFA in 18 rather than waiting until 19 holds a lot of appeal.  To get on with things, even as the pay cheque for now is good.

In the interim, the kayaking trip was good, provoking interesting thoughts on the Eastern Shore future.  The exploration of islands and the like.  The idea of making writing desks out of stone and hunting for inspiration in the waves and trees and forging new hidden trails is a powerful one not to be dismissed.

What will things look like in 8 months?  What do you still need to do before the Santiago departure?  What what what, always what.  Head down and cross off the next run of days until Chicago, then London, then ?
