Time Travel

I can't believe it's been four months since my last post. Shortly after that, the universe combined for us to return from Barcelona a few weeks early. Eric's dad's cancer, which he had staved off for over a decade, had come back bigtime, and we really, really wanted to be there with him and Eric's mom. After such an amazing year, coming home a few weeks early was no big deal. So we did that, spending a few weeks in the gorgeous Gold Country fall with them. After that, a former co-worker invited me to come to his company for a short writing contract, so I went right into work, moving in, and the holidays, also returning every couple weekends to be with Eric's folks. Eric's dad passed in January.

So here we are, four months later, with much more to share about the trip. Between cameras disappearing and reappearing and the break since our trip, the rest of this blog will not have the immediacy of the ones written on the road, nor the chronological continuancy I would have liked, but such is life. Think Kurt Vonnegut. Think hiding/showing columns in an Excel spreadsheet. Think quantum leaps.
