I've been traveling every week for about a month now.  True, my job requires a lot of travel, but it's quite honestly been pretty exhausting.  And when I move into my new position, I think I'll be on the road 3 out of the 4 weeks of every month.  But -- the saving grace is that I'll probably be a lot less tired and weary, as I will only be covering ONE job instead of FOUR.

You know things are bad when someone you "catch up" with on the phone says "so what was the story?" in regards to something that happened like six weeks ago.  Nonetheless, it's still good to "catch up" and hear how things are back home.

Great things are to come, personal growth will soon blossom, and the adventure of my adult life will continue.  We should all be happy for the things we have to "hold on" to -- whether it be family, friends, significant others, successes, or a comfortable bed.

Speaking of beds -- my hotel in Seattle had those Temperpedic beds -- it was so comfortable, that it was hard to get up in the morning!  You know, those beds where the lady is jumping on one side of the bed, and there's a glass of wine on the other that doesn't spill even though she's bouncing all over the place.  Now, c'mon...I know it's a simulation, but who is ever going to do that??

And another funny moment -- when we were playing beach volleyball on Sunday, this middle-aged lady is grasping tightly to her dog's leash as they proceed to walk on the sand.  The dog is going nuts, barking and yelping like he sees a feral cat.  You can tell she's struggling -- and then she just lets go of the leash.  Her body language was like "oh, f--k it already" and lets the dog run wild.  What does he go for?  Our volleyball.

And she walks away!  Snob.
