Got "home" around 9:30 tonight; with the loss of 3 hours due to time zone, the flight east took pretty much all day today. The house has a strange quality to it... strange to be back. My old room feels like a dusty photo album, the wall hangings, furnishings, and contents a snapshot of my youth & days past. It holds all the "junk" that I didn't take with me to Chicago, most of which I do not miss at all. The memory lingers in the walls & in the furniture, and each item speaks its own story. But it's not the room I know now, nor the one that I'm familiar with anymore; it is both mine and not mine at the same time.

Oh, and I found my old David Eddings books all still sitting here (that one was for you, Nessa). Maybe I'll haul them out to Chicago someday

Tomorrow... dentist appointment, then eye appointment. Some Wheaton folk are in town for the wedding, & so maybe might do something with them. Otherwise it might not be a bad idea to spend the stillness of a Friday night on my own, as kind of my down-time. Or maybe see if Kary's doing anything Friday night.
