Spent a lot of time in the car the last two days, about 7 hours worth. Many miles passed under me, many thoughts going through my head during that time. And now I'm back at where I started. And while it's good to be home there are other places I would like to be, opportunities I would like to try. Someday, someday.....

Chris and I had a good talk. He's still signing up for the Army but we cleared the air about some things. The biggest of all was communication. He keeps a lot bottled up inside from me, almost out of fear. I can't think of any reason for him to fear me, and he admits it is unfounded. In the last two day we have talked about a lot of things, much more than we have in a long time. I hope that what we have started just hasn't come too late.
