I think I'm done. I still have a lot of time on my contract but I think I'll take a break when it's over. I want to go to Nepal for a year and just have nothing to do with cell phones, credit cards, wal-mart, income tax, performance reviews, meaningless workdays, empty relationships, cable television, and all the other crap that seems to be turning my soul into a landfill for the trash of everyday life. I took three weeks off back in May. Visited the places I love -the highways of the U.S. and Canada and their companion truck stops and small towns -but it wasn't the restful trip I had hoped for. I seemed to be rushing the whole way -maybe knowing I wouldn't get to be on the road again for years or maybe making up for lost time, I don't know. I need a break where I rent an apartment and hang out in some town or village and drink coffee, run, hike, learn a new language, maybe paint. Yeah, that sounds pretty ideal to me now.
