Rowland Ramble -

I am two good drinks into this afternoon.  A nice wheat beer and a hard cider.  They are light, yet doing the job.  The sun is out and the service is great inside.  I’m feeling no pain and for the first time in a while, I have a sense that this return back home just might work out well.  I think that the sun has something to do with it but I’ll take the pass and enjoy it. 
The chatter in the restaurant is not foreign and it’s intelligible.  A first in a while.  I think back to some of my friends in the desert and wish that I could share these few minutes of bliss…
After living in the desert, its apparent that my world view is different.  I’m enjoying today but at the same time am acutely aware of an altered approach to my surroundings.
Im not sure that I would want to go back to the sandbox based on today. It is this feeling that makes me think I have landed back home…finally.
