Well, not exactly new. Jim James has been putting music into the stratosphere for a bit here now, but his song, "Here in Spirit" has me feeling good this week, so I'm passing to you.

Today is my last full day in the U.S. Tomorrow (traffic willing) I'm jumping a plane to Spain where I'm going to be poking around for an extended period. It seems like forever ago and a little like yesterday that I packed up my life into a few bags, but here we are again.

Excited. Terrified. Overwhelmed. Psyched. The travel cocktail has been shaken, flipped, and stirred, and now we'll just have to see what happens. You don't know, 'til ya go, after all.

I'm hoping the miles will give me the fuel I need to bring this blog to life. Maybe I just need a kick in the pants.

Anyways, as always, thanks for being you. Enjoy kiddos.
