Oh well, I'm now sitting in my stripped down room (oh my) and I realized that I'm not really that bummed, or excited yet. But it is all coming down to the wire. The next few weeks I'm going to be finishing up working at the Pentagon, starting to out-process and all that because exactly one month from now I'll be hopping on my bike, putting on my big boy pants, and driving myself back to Utah.
That being a picture of Utah.
I hear what I'm proposing is preposterous, well maybe it is a little crazy to hop on a 2008 Kawasaki Ninja 500R and go across the country, maybe. But I'm doing it anyway. I've always wanted to do this, ever since I read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. Not that I'm very zenful, nor am I too amped about the maintenance part but I am excited at having this experience rapidly approaching.
And that's my bike all geared up for a trip... two summers ago I think. I drove to ocean city and back. Pretty fun stuff. I also made a long trip down to GW national forest, I also made a trip up to pennsylvania, I can't remember if I actually made it to philadelphia or not. Probably not. I didn't see the statue dude, anyway.
Well both of you that read this blog, I hope the text... plus the pictures, which were contextual this time, make up for some of the however-many-months-ness that I've completely ignored this. I like reading your blogs though, how about some updates huh? You lazy people... geez. :)
