Mid-June the days are getting quite warm and I can't help but think the entire of this coming year will be warm like this. I am anticipating the trip perhaps more than I ever have before. Perhaps this trip is longer, perhaps it is more professional, perhaps I have more ties. Whatever the reason I feel more of the pull in each direction. Yet I don't regret the decision. It is a great opportunity and the work that I have wanted to do for the longest time.
