I’m halfway through my crazy stretch of travel. I’m leaving today for Syracuse to see my daughter graduate college on Saturday. This is a nice trip, and a little break, but it’s still time away from home.

I’ve been home 6 full days since Apr 14, with trips to the UK and Australia in that time. I have work trips next week, the following one, and then two weeks in the UK again. All told, in 9 weeks, I’m at home for 11 full days.

My year so far:

I’m coping so far, though I am a little worn out with the movement through time zones. I’m going to use the next few days to take it easy, relax, and try to just enjoy the time with family away from home.
