Sitting at home in New York as I type this and it’s good to be home. The trip was fine, I went through Dallas/Fort Worth instead of Chicago this time. I like the way Chicago splits up the flight times a bit more evenly, but DFW is a very well designed airport. It’s basically clusters of smaller terminals each connected by a tram. What I think this does is spreads what would be a huge amount of people into managable chuncks, so it doesn’t feel as chaotic as what it might otherwise be.
After getting home we sat outside sipping drinks and chatting. Just the simple act of sitting outside at 4 in the afternoon was pretty mind-blowing to me, this is something you really can’t do in Oklahoma once May comes around. At 6 we headed to Sylvan Beach where several of us celebrated my Uncle Mikes 51st birthday. I was too tired (having only gotten 3 hours of sleep the night before) to be much for conversation, but it was just good to be in the presence of my family again. I went to bed with the window open, another thing that doesn’t happen at all in Oklahoma (it’s strange all the little things I miss; another example is all the trees - it struck me this time how many more trees there are around here than Oklahoma).
So the next 2 days aren’t going to be terribly relaxing, I’ve got to get ready for Brian’s wedding and all, but still, no less fun. I’ve got Brian’s bachelor party tonight (put on on by Jamie) which I am looking forward to that. Then sunday is Father’s Day, nothing much planned, but Aunt Kathy is coming out with Hannah - maybe I can get everyone to play Killer Bunnies. Monday mom is taking me out visiting family and then Tuesday morning I plan on just hanging out and relaxing for just a bit longer until I have to head back South. It’s gonna be a good trip.
